"The International Brotherhood of Teamsters (IBT), also known as the Union of Columbia, is a labor union in the United States. Formed in 1903 by the merger of The Team Drivers International Union and The Teamsters National Union, the union now represents a diverse membership of blue-collar and professional workers in both the public and private sectors." - Wikipedia[

At present, it represents workers in the Waste Management, Construction & Freight Divisions, and Dock Workers.

The Union of Columbia works with a single belief and motive.

The eyes of the administration do not see the city in motion with buildings, freight, or tools. We certainly don't see food chains, politics, a set of rules, or protests either.

If there’s one and the only thing we do see, it’s people. No matter what background or race.

With the UOC, you come under the umbrella of an organization whose mission remains to find the best opportunities for yourself and to speak on your behalf whenever necessary.

A few decades ago, during the early decades of the teamsters, the problems we faced as a union were all spontaneous. A member was no more than a 'worker'.

However, at present-day with the blessing and success of all our members, we're able to provide what we couldn't have dreamed back in that day and era, ranging from healthcare, insurance protection, financial counseling, scholarships, legal support as well as confidential help in personal matters or retirement planning.

In other words, upon becoming a member of the Union of Columbia, you’re a part of one simple philosophy.

‘In any need of help? We’re always a call away.’

These are the core benefits that you'll be under, with the administration consistently working on more.

• Representation - A set of trained professionals are at your service to act on your behalf with your permission to resolve disputes and to fight for your fights.

• Health Care & Medical Benefits, for a member and family.

• Job Opportunities - With the network of the union, the members, as well as immediate family, get easy access to jobs scattered over various fields.

• Pension Benefit.

• Legal Services with free consultations and discounted services.

• Appreciation events.

With a small weekly fee of 250$, joining the teamsters allows you to have a voice in how you are treated at your workplace. You become a part of over 1.5 million hard-working people, and their families, fighting alongside you and for you to improve the condition of your workplace and across the country.

Always having the strength and support of your union brothers and sister, you become a part of the democratic organization where as a member you have the right to elect your leaders who look after you and decide the union's policies.
