Teamsters Local Union 916

Congratulations to our newest members at GFL in Lincoln!

The workers voted a resounding 14-2 in their NLRB election to join Teamsters Local 916 — sending a clear message that they want the strength, representation, and solidarity of the Teamsters behind them.

We are proud to welcome these workers into the Local 916 family and look forward to standing with them as we move into the next step: negotiating a strong first contract.

Welcome to Teamsters Local 916!

Happy Labor Day from Teamsters Local 916!

Today, we celebrate the working men and women who keep our communities moving, our workplaces strong, and our country running.

Labor Day is more than a long weekend — it’s a reminder that the wages, benefits, protections, and rights working people have today were earned through generations of solidarity, sacrifice, and standing together.

To all of our Local 916 members and working families across Illinois: thank you for the work you do every day.

Enjoy the day. Stay safe. Stay proud. Stay Union.

Strong members. Strong families. Strong communities. Strong Union.
