Teamsters Local 43, based in Racine, has voted to merge with Milwaukee’s Teamsters Local 200.
Local 43 has 600 members and Local 200 has 3,700 members. The members will benefit from collected power, resources and expertise, the union said.
“I look forward to representing our brothers and sisters from Local 43,” said Tom Millonzi, secretary-treasurer of Local 200. “With our combined strength, we can build upon the good work that Local 43’s staff has done over so many years.”
“Our combined resources and staff will allow us to explore new organizing opportunities,” said Tom Bennett, Local 200 president. “Together, we can bring a strong voice to the unorganized in the Milwaukee, Racine/Kenosha areas, and further strengthen Wisconsin’s labor movement.”
The International Brotherhood of Teamsters represents 1.4 million employees in the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico.
