TEAMSTERS DON’T CROSS PICKET LINES.
This morning we had over 850 members join, between in-person and Zoom option, for our 2nd Quarter General Membership Meeting of the year! The turnout is large in part due to the current negotiations between the
@WGAWest
& AMPTP.
BREAKING NEWS 🚨After a long last 48-hours, we’re proud to report that ALL Hollywood Basic Crafts Locals have reached a tentative agreement.
Our member-led bargaining committees have voted to unanimously recommend for ratification.
MORE INFORMATION TO FOLLOW.
Teamsters Local 399 is calling for the immediate resignation of Labor Federation President Ron Herrera after the recently exposed racist comments by prominent Los Angeles leaders during a meeting at the LA County Federation of Labor.
Full statement shared below.
“No one should feel sorry for employers,” said
@TeamLocal399
Lindsay Dougherty. “We stand w/ the WGA in pursuit of a strong and fair contract. Should the employers be unable to address the writers concerns, & they do go on strike, Teamsters will continue to be in solidarity.
TEAMSTERS ARE AWLAYS READY FOR A FIGHT👊
“Everyone needs to be together on this, every worker in this industry, because nothing will change unless we fight.” Thanks

🧵To Our Fellow
#SagAftraMembers
:
It is with profound disappointment that we report the industry CEOs have walked away from the bargaining table after refusing to counter our latest offer. (1/11)
Local 399 members know our fights with the studios are just around the corner. All Hollywood Unions & Guilds have a common enemy and that is the employers. Our solidarity amongst ourselves is our greatest strength. We will be keeping members as engaged & informed as possible.

HOLLYWOOD LABOR CONTINUES TO STAND UNITED and Calls on Studios to Resume Negotiations w/
@sagaftra
in Good Faith ✊
The CEO’s have continuously said that they were committed to negotiate w/ the actors until a deal was reached. The time to get back to the table is NOW.
"Teamsters don’t cross picket lines. It’s not in our DNA, and it is a protected right in our contracts.”
While we brace for the final week of bargaining and prepare our members for what could possibly unfold, the energy in the room was strong.
As shared today, we stand with the writer’s in their fight to address their real and reasonable bargaining priorities. They will continue bargaining with the studios this week, up until the the expiration of their contract on May 1st.
