From The President

Dear Members,

We are proud to represent hard-working men and women in Illinois state Government and business. The titles held by our members are wide-ranging: highway maintainers, truck drivers, security guards, warehouse employees, manufacturers, road and bridge engineers, and many other positions.

Like all Teamsters, we unite in the name of equity and justice. We are active politically and make sure our families are well represented in the Statehouse and at the bargaining table.

Fraternally,

J.P. Fyans, III

President
