Kentucky Teamsters

Kentucky’s state employees are essential to the health, function, and success of your communities. Unfortunately, your dedication has not been rewarded by the Commonwealth over the last 25 years. There have been budget freezes, suspension of wage increases, and a steady erosion of your benefits. As a result, Kentucky’s state employees have fallen behind.

Many private sector workers already have a union voice in Frankfort — and it's time for public employees to have one, too. Workers in the Commonwealth of Kentucky deserve a union that ensures you are heard and respected. You deserve to be Teamsters.

Who Are the Teamsters?

The Teamsters are America’s largest, most diverse union with 1.3 million members nationwide — including nearly 30,000 members in Kentucky alone. In 1903, the Teamsters started as a merger of the two leading team driver associations. These drivers were the backbone of America’s robust economic growth, but they needed to organize to wrest their fair share from greedy corporations. Today, the union’s task is exactly the same.

The Teamsters are known as the champion of freight drivers and warehouse workers, but have organized workers in virtually every occupation imaginable, both professional and non-professional, private sector, and public sector.

Teamsters public service workers keep our cities, counties, hospitals, and schools running every day. When we stand together in our union, we have the strength to demand respect and just compensation for our important work.
