Congresswomen Niki Tsongas (D-MA) rides with Teamsters Local 25 member Bill Gray.

Massachusetts fifth Congressional District Congresswomen Niki Tsongas donning a Teamsters Pin, spent time today driving on route with Teamsters Local 25 member Bill Gray. Tsongas decided to stand in the shoes of a UPS Driver to see what UPS package car driver has to endure while performing their duties.

“I commend Nikki Tsongas for spending time with one of our members” said Sean M. O’Brien, President of Teamsters Local 25, “I wish more politicians would find the time to witness what our members have to tolerate on a daily basis.”




LtoR: Sean M. O’Brien, Congresswomen Niki Tsongas, Bill Gray.
