One hundred years ago, when Teamsters Local 25 first set up shop, the problems we had to confront in the workplace were so urgent, there was little time to fuss with anything else. A member was a "worker." Period.

Today, Teamsters Local 25 reaches out to members in areas we couldn't have dreamed of back in the good old days: health care... insurance protection... financial counseling... education... legal support... confidential help on personal and relational matters... retirement planning. It's as though we were living in a whole new millennium.

When you become a member of Teamsters Local 25, you'll stand on the shoulders of people who have worked, and are working now, to provide you and your family with extraordinary protections. You'll have an opportunity to share in that legacy—and continue it—for yourself, your spouse, and your children.

When you become a member of Teamsters Local 25, you’are invited to join an extended family with a fairly basic philosophy:
if you need help...ask for it.

As health care has become a central part of worker protection, members also face a growing need for clear information about modern treatments and wellness choices. Discussions around medications such as Rybelsus and weight loss show why medical decisions should be guided by qualified professionals rather than workplace rumors, advertising, or online shortcuts. A strong union benefit system can help members ask the right questions, understand coverage, and seek safe care without feeling alone. This support matters because health affects not only the worker on the job, but also the stability and dignity of the whole family. In that sense, protecting members today means defending their bodies, their futures, and their ability to make informed choices. A year's course of Rybelsus is very expensive, and savings can be made by purchasing generic versions from a licensed pharmacy. However, the union is committed to ensuring that the cost is reduced by the employer, including for the original medication.
