1150 PRIDE is a caucus of individuals who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, or asexual, questioning their gender identity or sexual orientation and allies.

1150 PRIDE offers all LGBTQIA+ members a safe space to open up and talk about issues concerning our community and our union. We are committed to raising awareness of different sexual and gender identities, eliminating homophobia, transphobia, and all sexuality-related phobias from the workplace, and advocating for equal treatment for all union members. We seek and will work tirelessly for a genuine harassment-free and inclusive workplace that respects all persons, regardless of their differences.

The Teamsters For Tomorrow (T4T) is a diverse group of Teamsters who are working to further the cause of our great union. Working with our Local Union, we strive to build a foundation for future Teamsters through education, communication, and participation. With issues facing our union such as Right to work, it is important now more than ever for the next generation of Teamsters to be prepared to preserve our great union. We must forge a place for ourselves and for future generations of Teamsters. At this critical time in our history we must join together to carry on the traditions of the men and women who struggled to get the labor movement where it is today. Brothers and Sisters, the time has come for you to "Be What Tomorrow Needs."

We are young Teamsters who are proud to be members of the greatest union in the world. We are members who take an active roll in our Local Union under the guidance of it's Executive Board. We believe that it is time for this generation to step up and begin to carry on more than 100 years of Teamsters tradition.

If you are a young Teamster interested in getting involved, contact us today and ask how to join the Teamsters for Tomorrow cause.

What is the TNBC? 

The Teamsters National Black Caucus (TNBC) is an organization of black Teamster men and women, who are united by their special concerns for rights and conditions of workers. Working within the framework of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters Constitution, the TNBC seeks to address pressing issues confronting black workers ranging from increased participation to outreach to the African American community and other communities of color. 
 

What is the TNBC's Purpose? 

At its founding, the TNBC had four important goals:

1. To organize and educate the unorganized in our communities throughout the United States 
2. To promote affirmative action in the workplace and in our community 
3. To encourage political action and legislation 
4. To increase black participation and uphold the principles of the Teamsters’ movement and to foster the opportunity for all Teamsters to serve in leadership capacities, throughout the International Brotherhood of Teamsters and the affiliates. 

What does the TNBC mean for me?

Politics may be distasteful to some, but there is no denying how heavily politics and politicians affect our lives each day. It is important for us to be educated and to exercise our right to vote in each election.

Local 1150 encourages its members to always be politically active, to vote when given the opportunity and to continually educate themselves about political issues. Nothing impacts our lives on such a broad scope quite like politics does, so it is important for us to understand the issues that affect us and to take action when necessary.

Education is the key to strong political action. Please use the link below to visit our Political Action page and learn all you can about the issues and people who affect your life at home and in the workplace.
