My name is Harold Powell, President of Teamsters Local No. 284. Our philosophy of representing our members is simple - provide effective advocacy for all of your workplace needs. Many of the occupations represented in Local 284 receive additional support through the various Teamsters industry groups, such as the Brewery Conference, Airline Division, Warehouse Division, and Public Sector Division. Because of our affiliation with Teamsters Joint Council 1, the Ohio Conference of Teamsters, and the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, we are able to draw on the resources of North America's largest and most powerful trade union, including highly skilled researchers, economists, and industry experts.
Companies have their representatives in the form of industry, trade, and business associations.
Now you have yours - Teamsters Local 284. Difficult as these problems may seem, working people can fight back and claim what is rightfully theirs. The Teamsters have led the way in negotiating strong contracts, fighting trade legislation hostile to workers' interests, and protecting the health and safety of our members on the job. Effective representation today requires innovation as well as use of time honored tactics. Your input will make us even better.
