From the Ballot Box to Capitol Hill today Teamsters and other working Americans face unprecedented challenges, as well as opportunities, at every level of government. More than ever, the success of the Teamsters' legislative and political programs will depend upon the direct involvement of Teamster members.
About DRIVE
Democrat, Republican, Independent Voter Education
Big Business spends big money in Washington to influence members of Congress and push their anti-worker plans. They outspend working families on politics by more than 15-1.
Through grassroots political action and aggressive lobbying on Capitol Hill and in State Houses and City Halls across America, Teamsters have stopped some of the worst attacks on working people.
But Big Business is pushing their agenda harder than ever. That means we have to fight back stronger than ever. And we have to move forward with our own programs, like improving job safety, fighting for affordable childcare, and stopping abuses by corporate health providers and insurance companies.
You can take a stand for working families by contributing to DRIVE – the Teamsters’ political action committee. Your contribution will support grassroots action by Teamster families to stand up to Big Business interests.
And your membership to DRIVE will help elect political candidates who care about working people.
Contributions to DRIVE support a wide range of Teamster activities:
•Keeping members and their families informed on the key issues that affect our future, including voter guides that show the records of our Senators and Representatives in Congress.
•Rallies, news conferences, advertisements, and phone banks to build support on issues of concern to working people.
•Voter registration, and financial support for political candidates who will stand up for working families. DRIVE is non-partisan and independent from any political party.
The Government Affairs Department closely follows legislative and regulatory issues that impact Teamster members and their families. Below is a list of top issues that will maintain and grow good jobs at home, protect workers at their jobsite and help provide our members with good wages and benefits. As Congress changes its focus and we identify other priorities affecting our members, our agenda will be modified accordingly.
