Local 853 members attended the 2009 Annual Membership Appreciation Meeting for a variety of reasons; gifts, prizes, a place to hang with co-workers and old friends and an opportunity to hear Secretary-Treasurer Rome Aloise’s annual State of the Union address.
Following are highlights from Rome’s speech (video can be seen on YouTube and Google Videos):
Membership appreciation & diversity: “Our Local has a very diverse membership . . . The different jobs and the different ethnic qualities and the diversity of our Local is what makes us strong . . . that’s what makes us Teamsters Local 853 and that’s why our membership should appreciate each other.”

Saturday, November 7, 2009 marked the tenth anniversary of Teamsters Local 853’s Annual Membership Appreciation Meeting. Ten years ago, 200 members attended. This year, there were over 700. Obviously, anytime 700 Teamsters show up for a union meeting, something special is about to happen. But, then again, Local 853 isn’t your typical local and the Annual Membership Appreciation Meeting isn’t your typical union meeting. |

Over 200 Northern California Teamsters packed Local 287’s San Jose hall on Saturday, October 10, 2009 for a full day of instruction at the Teamsters Organizer Bootcamp. The Bootcamp, led by some of the IBT’s top organizers, is a traveling classroom dedicated to bringing 1,000 volunteers into Teamster organizing campaigns by the end of the year. Not surprisingly, the attendance at Joint Council 7’s spirited Bootcamp was double that of any other Bootcamp held so far across the country. And if the enthusiasm and interest of the rank-and-filers assembled in San Jose is any indication of the success of the Bootcamp, it would appear that a whole bunch of Northern California’s non-union workers will soon become proud members of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters. |

By Joe Eskenazi SF WEEKLY in Labor, Media,
Rome Aloise, the principal officer of the Teamsters Local 853 calls to inform SF Weekly that his union continues to picket outside the massive Fremont printing plant that will soon have copies of the San Francisco Chronicle rolling off its presses. Roughly 300 union drivers and mailers lost their jobs as a result of the Chron moving its printing facilities to the non-union plant, which is operated by Montreal-based Transcontinental, Inc.
