Teamsters Local 464 News

The Teamsters Union, established in 1903, was originally formed by the merger of two rival Unions that represented workers who drove teams of horses, which was how most freight was delivered at that time. This new Union quickly spread across North America. 

This led to the formation of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters and Chauffeurs, Stable Men and Helpers Local No. 464 Milk Drivers and Dairy Employees Union in 1919, chartered on February 17^th.

We’re not sure how long after, but thankfully it was shortened to Teamsters Local Union No. 464 sometime later.

The Teamsters were formed out of...

Local 464 mourns the passing of, life-long labour activist, Arthur “Art” Alexander Kube (January 9, 1935 – February 10, 2019).  Throughout his life, Art was a Union Organizer, the Regional Director of Education of the Canadian Labour Congress (CLC) and the developer CLC’s Winter School at Harrison Hot Springs. Kube was also past President of the BC Federation of Labour and the Chairperson for the largest political protest in BC’s history, Operation Solidarity. BC has lost a treasure, a real advocate for the working man. He will be missed.

Local 464 would like to welcome into the Teamster Brotherhood employees from the Saputo Delta facility.

Local 464 would like to congratulate our new Brothers and Sisters at Ultima Foods (Olympic Dairy) on the overwhelming ratification of their first collective agreement, which was accepted by a margin of 86%!  We look forward to working with you and ask all Teamster members to support this new group by supporting their great (and some alternative) Olympic branded yogourt products, found throughout the cooler section of your local supermarket.
