Do truckers have a union?
Generally no.
A few larger companies do.I thought the Teamsters were the trucker union and were relatively powerful....
Teamsters have a freight division but the total teamster membership was 1.3 in 2015 and there were 3.6 million truckers in the United States in 2020, so I wouldn’t say most truckers are in a union.
Teamsters doesn’t disclose what percent of their membership is made up by their freight division
Don't forget that the package division(ups) is a large chunk of their membership.
According to their website "The Package Division is the union’s largest division, serving hundreds of thousands of members throughout North America."
Dunno shit that. My dad was teamsters, but he was just a warehouse worker.
Nope. Many are independent contractors.
