Teamsters Local 705 - 2021 Fair Share Fee Notice (pdf)
DownloadLocal 705 is proud to announce that Teamster Local 705 members voted nearly unanimously to ensure that qualified laid-off members do not lose health care coverage due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Facing a pandemic of epic proportions, the members of Local 705 responded in kind. Some members under threat of layoff were in danger of losing their health care. The leadership and members of Local 705 sprung into action to protect those members and their families by holding a vote today to authorize the use of a portion of the strike fund to ensure certain laid-off members continued to receive health benefits.
An overwhelming number of members – many not under threat of layoff or of losing their health care – showed up to vote to support their fellow brothers and sisters. Of course, Local 705 leadership made sure to protect voters, Local 705 staff, and volunteers by practicing social distancing and maintaining clean areas.
Today is one more example of how we are stronger together. Local 705 will continue to fight for the rights of its members as this pandemic continues.
