First Annual Member Benefits Fair
First Annual Member Benefits Fair

Our First Annual Member Benefits Fair & BBQ was a tremendous success, thanks to the active participation of our members! This event provided an invaluable opportunity for members to connect with fellow Local 315 Teamsters, learn about the Local's activities, and meet all business agents, executive board members, and staff. Most importantly, members received crucial information directly from 11 benefit providers who were invited specifically to address their needs. By participating, members gained direct access to resources and support that are essential to their well-being. The event also featured raffles from both providers and Local 315, along with a delicious BBQ meal prepared by our dedicated business agents and executive board. We are excited to announce that this will become an annual tradition, continuing to bring our Teamsters Local 315 brothers and sisters together for important information, connection, and great food!
