Our Union has been active for over 100 years in the Chicagoland area and we are proud of our history and knowledge in the Graphic Industry. Having the International Brotherhood of Teamsters behind us we work to negotiate the best contracts possible and to provide the strongest day-to-day union representation for our members.
What's New We receive phone calls from our retirees asking about the status of our Employer Contributed Pensions, and if our newly elected President is doing anything for them.
Well please find attached the updated Butch Lewis Act that is being proposed. We ask all our active and retirees to call their representatives and support this act.
If we don't get involved and show our support then don't blame the President if your pension disappears blame the person in front of the mirror.
