On June 28, 2018 the Supreme Court overturned more than four decades of precedent by making fair share fees for public sector workers unconstitutional in the Janus v. AFSCME case. This case forces the entire public sector in Washington and across America into Right to Work (For Less!).   When we stand together, as members of Teamsters Local 231, we have power.

Lynden City Hall members unanimously ratify a four year contract with 3.25% increases in each of the four years among other gains. A special thanks goes out to first time negotiation committee member’s, Linda and Dave, for their invaluable and dedicated service to the members throughout negotiations and mediation.

The June 13th  Initiates and General Membership meetings were very well attended. Thirteen new members took the Teamsters Local 231 oath. Each Business Representative gave a report on current contract negotiations, grievances and pending arbitrations.
