The International Brotherhood of Teamsters is leading the fight for fair trade, universal health care and a stronger middle class.

The Teamsters Union and organized labor is America’s best anti-poverty program, bringing millions of hard-working men and women into the middle class.

Sadly, politicians on both sides of the aisle continue to ignore our country's working families, and the gap between the rich and poor grows larger with every passing day. Thomas Jefferson once said, “The purpose of representative government is to curb the excesses of the moneyed interests.” Unfortunately, our elected officials cater almost exclusively to Big Business at the expense of working Americans.

In 2005, the Teamsters Union partnered with six other progressive unions to form the Change to Win federation. Our mission is to unite the 50 million workers in Change to Win affiliate industries whose jobs cannot be outsourced and who are vital to the global economy. We seek to secure the American Dream for them, and for all working people, including:

• A paycheck that supports a family;
• Universal health care;
• A secure retirement; and
• The freedom to form a union that gives workers a voice on the job.

For the past 100 years, the Teamsters Union -- 1.4 million members strong and growing -- has been the champion of the working class in the United States. With both Democrats and Republicans beholden to corporations, unions are the only force committed to the American Dream.

Today, America’s middle class needs the Teamsters like never before.

Join us in our fight for a strong middle class and a stronger America.
