Message from the
President
Dear Brothers and Sisters:
On January 20, it was an honor to be sworn into another three-year term to this great local union.
The oath I took in 2006 to the members, my family and myself still holds true today. I will never stop
fighting for our members. Our goals, objectives and our core values remain the same and that is to
protect, preserve, and improve working conditions for our members and their families.
Now, more than ever, we must remain strong and united. We must focus on the broader labor move-
ment to grow. While the economy remains strong and our members are working, there are still many
people suffering. It’s not about us verse them. It’s about how we move forward together. If we’re not

On March 23 we’ll present our 12th annual Autism Gala. In the past 12 years we have supported 65
autism programs that directly impact people in our communities. This year we will honor two men
who have been our partners in the autism fight: Massachusetts Speaker of the House Robert DeLeo
and Autism Speaks New England Chapter Chairman and Boston Red Sox Vice President of Operations
Larry Cancro.
Having the most qualified members starts with training. In December we held our second worker
training program for the trade show industry. More than 200 members participated in this program.
Our driving school has been busy helping members obtain their CDL licenses.
In closing, thank you again to the members and your families for putting your trust in me. I’m humbled
and honored to continue representing you.
Fraternally,
Sean M. O’Brien

www.teamsterslocal25.com | WINTER 2019 | The SPOKESMAN | 9Local 25 Launches 2nd Annual
Worker Training Program for
Boston’s Trade Show Industry
200 workers participate in
hands-on two day training
T
eamsters Local 25 held its second annual trade show worker training program at the
Boston Convention and Exhibition Center this past December. First launched in 2017,
the program is the first-of-its-kind in Boston and provides Local 25 members with
advanced skills to maximize their earning potential and keep pace with changes within
the trade show industry.
In partnership with the Massachusetts Convention Center Authority (MCCA), Massa-
chusetts Department of Public Safety and convention and trade show employers, participants
receive hands-on training in the art of building and deconstructing trade shows quickly, effi-
ciently and safely.
“This training program is an investment in our members and in the City of Boston,” said
Teamsters Local 25 President Sean M. O’Brien. “Having an educated and well-trained work-
force is critically important for Boston to attract the large events with the biggest economic
impact. Working collaboratively with great partners such as MCCA, we can make Boston a
top destination for the most lucrative trade shows and give our members the skills needed to
advance their careers and better support their families.”
Until recently, Boston’s trade show industry was predominantly seasonal, and not large
enough to support more than an on-call, part-time workforce. By making this training
available, Teamsters Local 25 is providing workers with a chance to earn certifications and
licensure in handling the various aspects of working in the trade show industry.
“Customer service excellence is a cornerstone of the MCCA’s mission and our long-term
success is a direct result of our constant focus on providing training throughout the organi-
zation,” said David Gibbons, Executive Director of the Massachusetts Convention Center
Authority. “We applaud and appreciate the commitment of Teamsters Local 25 to make
training a priority for every member as we continue our work together to create economic
opportunities locally by bringing the world’s best events to Boston.”
A skilled trade show industry workforce will allow Boston to compete with its competitive
set including cities such as Washington D.C., Philadelphia, and San Francisco in attracting
the highest performing and most coveted conventions and trade shows. The training will also
create more full-time employment opportunities.
“This program is truly life-changing for our members,” said Teamsters Local 25 Steward
Ed Welch. “Giving these workers the chance to be fully trained and certified opens the door to
many more employment opportunities in this growing industry, while showcasing the hard-
working men and women that make Boston a prime destination for tradeshows and events.”

T eamsters Local 25 Women’s Committee again this year
joined sisters from the Joint Council 10 New England
Women’s Committee to thank our military serving over-
seas and unable to be home for the holidays with their families.
“Thank you to our sisters from Local 25 and across Joint
Council 10 who picked up donations and put the packages
together,” said President Sean M. O’Brien. “The holidays are
tough for our military, often away from home for several months
at a time. You sent a special message to people who routinely put
their lives on the line to protect our freedom.”
On December 4, the Teamsters tractor trailer drove into
the South Boston postal annex and unloaded three and a half
pallets of care packages. Massachusetts Veterans Affairs Secretary Joan Corey places “packaged with care” stickers on the packages
Francisco Ureña joined the Women’s Committee to deliver the
330 packages to the post office. They were shipped to U.S. service
members deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The packages included toiletries, non-perishable food, candy,
pens and paper and personal notes collected from school chil-
dren across New England. Local 25 reached out to the Medford
Public Schools and students in the Andrews and McGlynn Mid-
dle Schools penned more than 100 letters that were included in
the packages and presented to area Veterans.
“This was a true team effort,” said Business Agent Joan
Corey. “We had donation bins set up in the union hall, phar-
macy, dental offices and credit union. Members and vendors
donated and many of our brothers helped with the assembly.” Sisters filled the boxes with toiletries, food and letters of gratitude

“This truly was a team effort,” said Field

there to greet us, and they were thrilled! We

was extra special.”
