Texas Teamsters Score Big Win with Parsec Unionization

LISTEN UP, FOLKS! The Texas Teamsters just scored a massive victory with the unionization of 34 Parsec workers in Dallas. This isn't just any win; it's a game-changer for the freight industry and a clear signal that workers are taking control of their future. Universal Logistics Holdings, the billion-dollar freight giant, acquired Parsec last year, and now, these workers are fighting back and winning!

Jared Berch, a loader operator and proud new member of Local 745, put it best: "I voted to join the Teamsters because we deserve fair benefits and compensation for the work we do, respect on the job, and protections that management has failed to provide." This is about more than just a paycheck; it's about dignity, respect, and a voice on the job. And let me tell you, the Teamsters are delivering on that promise.

Brent Taylor, Secretary-Treasurer of Local 745 and Teamsters Southern Region International Vice President, couldn't be prouder. "Texas Teamsters are helping write the playbook for union organizing in the Southern Region," he declared. "These workers will make our union even stronger than before. We can’t wait to work with them to get the contract they deserve." This is a movement, folks, and it's gaining momentum.

John A. Murphy, Director of the Teamsters Freight Division, echoed this sentiment: "Workers across the freight industry are seeing the Teamsters difference firsthand — and they’re responding accordingly." The Teamsters Freight Division is ready to assist these workers as they fight for a strong first contract. This is about more than just one victory; it's about a wave of change sweeping through the industry.

But this isn't just about numbers. It's about power. It's about workers standing up and saying, "We deserve better." And the Teamsters are giving them the tools to make that happen. This victory in Dallas is the second unit of workers at the intermodal freight company to unionize with the Teamsters in the last month alone. That's right, folks—this is a trend, and it's only going to get bigger.

So, what does this mean for the future? It means that workers are taking control. It means that companies like Universal Logistics Holdings are going to have to listen. It means that the Southern Region is becoming a hotbed for labor organizing, and the Teamsters are leading the charge.

DO NOT MISS OUT on this movement, folks. This is your chance to be part of something bigger. This is your chance to fight for what's right. This is your chance to join the Teamsters and secure a better future for every worker on this yard. The time is now, and the Teamsters are ready to lead the way.
