As 2019 draws to its close, a quick couple of comments on the year that has just passed.

2019 was a year of celebration for Local 464, as we celebrated our milestone 100^th year as a Teamster Local. Thank you to all who participated in some of the events of the 10 months!

Thank you to your Shop Stewards, many of whom put in so much extra time, out of their personal time, to assist their fellow Union Brethren through all kinds of travails. Please continue to show your support and kindness to your Stewards, as the job they perform for you is often thankless.

Thank you to our members, all rank and...

Based on a true story, the movie Stand! is the result of the collaboration between the movie’s producers, the labour movement in North America and the Canadian Museum for Human Rights. Stand! gives viewers a glimpse into the six-week-long Winnipeg General Strike of 1919, when 30,000 workers walked off their jobs in hopes for better wages, safer working conditions and recognition of their unions. The movie has been called the "next Norma Rae".
