Teamsters Local 162 affiliated with the Oregon Labor Federation, AFL - CIO over the Labor Day holiday. 

Statement from Mark Davison, Teamsters Local 162 Secretary-Treasurer & International Western Region Vice President: 

“Standing together with other Oregon unions through the AFL-CIO is how we build a stronger, more unified labor movement. It’s also how we leverage our power to win for our members and all working Oregonians in an ever-changing and precarious economy. Local 162 was founded in1903 because horse-drawn wagon operators demanded dignity and respect on the job. The technology and the economy have changed, but our work to build power has never wavered. That’s why we’re joining the Oregon Labor Federation, to continue a 123 year long tradition of solidarity, worker empowerment, and demanding dignity and respect for working people.”
