Teamsters Win Strike, New Contract at Hunts Point

Local 804 could not be more proud to have stood shoulder to shoulder with Local 202 and the 1,400 Teamsters at Hunts Point Market. The strike is over and members have approved a three-year contract that protects their healthcare and delivers $1.85 in wage increases. These brave Teamsters did more than win a strike, a raise, and a new contract. They showed New York City and the world what the Teamsters and the labor movement can be. One union! One goal!

Celebrating Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. challenged us with the question, "What are you doing for others?" In Local 804, it is our job to be there for one another and to fight for respect and dignity for every member and every worker. That was the call of the civil rights movement and we are here to answer it. One Union. One Goal.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year and thank you to Local 804 members everywhere. You've loaded and sorted the packages, delivered presents and essential (and non-essential) goods. You're fed the hungry through City Harvest. Now you are delivering the vaccine and putting a stake through the heart of this pandemic. In a million ways, you've been there for New York and for each other. One union, one goal! 

Thank You and Congratulations Tom Lamontanaro

Congratulations to Tom Lamontanaro who is retiring as the Health & Welfare Fund Manager. Tom has worked hard for the members for decades and protected our fund and our benefits. We thank him for his service and wish him the best in his retirement. Long-time and experienced Fund employee, Marc Pantaleone, will serve as our new Fund manager, but Tom will never be replaced!

Three Teamsters Restored to Membership

A hearing was held at Local 804 on December 21 complying with United States District Judge LaShann Darcy Hall's order to hold a new and unbiased hearing on internal union charges filed against Pete Mastandrea, David Fennell, and Neil O’Brien. 

DELIVERING FOR NEW YORK ONCE AGAIN!

Local 804 Teamsters Rafael Javier and Luis Jaquez set out from the Fordham Center in the Bronx to deliver the COVID vaccine. Teamsters are delivering for our communities just like we've done since Day One. One Union, One Goal!

Remembering Ron Carey

December 11 marks the anniversary of the passing of Ron Carey, the great Local 804 President who took on the mob and UPS management, and was the first General President to be democratically elected by the members.

Supporting Our Veterans

Local 804 delivered this check for $6,054 to the Guide Dog Foundation for the Blind. Thanks to donations from members and our local provided, a veteran has a trained service dog by their side.
