The Teamsters are America’s largest and most diverse union, over 1.4 million members. Who Are The Teamsters? Local 247 has represented workers in the Detroit Metropolitan area since 1933.

Belonging to a union is really about one thing; collective bargaining. When you belong to a union your terms and conditions of employment are in writing. Collective bargaining agreements are negotiated between the union and management. Then voted on by the members/employees. Once a collective bargaining agreement has been adopted the union polices and enforces the agreement.

Becoming a Local 247 member has multiple benefits, some are listed below:

• Written terms and conditions of employment. Negotiated benefits, such as wages, healthcare and retirement will remain unchanged for the duration of the contract.

• No longer are you an at-will employee. Your employment cannot be terminated without just cause.

• A grievance procedure to protect your rights.

• A structured voice in the workplace.
