Union Structure

Teamsters Canada is a labour organization that begins with our members. Our Union Leaders, Representatives, Agents, and Stewards are experts in labour relations, and with the active participation of our members, we strive to improve the working conditions and lives of all Teamsters. Our Union is active on three levels: national, regional and local.
