Message from the
President
Dear Brothers and Sisters:
I hope this message finds you and your family in good health. The world has changed significantly
since our last issue; and continues to change. Our executive board is working tirelessly to address new
workplace challenges due to COVID-19 and navigating the “new normal.”
In mid-March, the state shut down, and people quarantined at home. Our mental toughness was
tested daily. Through it all, workers, and Teamsters in particular, have been the one constant in all of
our lives. Teamster Local 25 truck drivers, warehouse workers, and trash haulers – to name just a few –
have proven how important we are to this nation.
“Brothers and
Frontline workers continue to exhibit selflessness and empathy. I wish I could say the same about cor-

COVID-19 has caused significant layoffs everywhere. We have helped the majority of our members

PRESIDENT/ re-open, we are seeing members return to work. While some industries will return quicker than others,
PRINCIPAL OFFICER this is an encouraging sign and we are confident this upward trend will continue.
During this time, we are closely monitoring the Teamsters Health and Welfare Fund and the Teamsters
Pension Fund to ensure these funds continue to perform and provide a return on investment.
COVID-19 has also impacted our traditional events. The Autism Gala has been rescheduled to January
23, 2021. We were proud to award 28 students Teamsters Local 25 scholarships but couldn’t hold the
ceremony. After much consideration, we have decided to not hold our annual golf tournament. Thank
you to everyone that is part of these events for your understanding during this difficult time.
As a union leader, but more importantly as a human being, I am deeply disturbed by the divide in our
country. Social injustice is real; it is happening every day in the workplace and throughout communi-
ties. We have a long way to go in our fight for justice. Brothers and sisters, solidarity is the key to mak-
ing real progress.
Fraternally,
Sean M. O’Brien

Teamsters Local 25
Essential Workers
With more people ordering online, UPS workers
in the warehouse and on the truck worked
tirelessly to meet the demand of orders during
the pandemic.
8 | The SPOKESMAN | SUMMER 2020 | www.teamsterslocal25.comWhile most tradeshows and events were
cancelled, our Trade Show workers
transformed the Boston Convention Center
into a 1,000-bed field hospital in just five days.
Called Boston Hope, it was used to support
Boston area hospitals during the pandemic.
Drivers at The Ride and East Boston Neighborhood
Health Center transported patients and medical staff to
and from medical appointments.
www.teamsterslocal25.com | SUMMER 2020 | The SPOKESMAN | 9As if their job isn't already stressful, Local 25 Dispatchers
must now screen callers to identify anyone that may be
sick so the reporting first responders can be prepared
and stay safe.
Members at MS Walker and Martingetti
kept local shops well stocked. When MS
Walker switched over their distribution
center to make hand sanitizer, our drivers
delivered much of it.
10 | The SPOKESMAN | SUMMER 2020 | www.teamsterslocal25.comStop and Shop members
worked around the clock to
keep grocery store shelves
stocked so that the public
had the essentials to survive.
Thank You Rigging members made
sure that hospitals and
essential businesses could
work without disruption.

workers kept the streets clean, cemeteries
functioning, and maintained city services
during this time.
Thank You
A trash hauler’s job is always tough,
but COVID-19 made it much worse.
Residential trash increased and these
members continually put themselves
in harms way, often picking up dis-
posed masks and gloves.
12 | The SPOKESMAN | SUMMER 2020 | www.teamsterslocal25.comCosta Fruit workers in the warehouse and on the truck made sure
children had healthy fruits and vegetables during the pandemic by
delivering USDA produce boxes that were distributed through local
schools. They also supplied local shops doing take-out.
While the brakes were put on most flights out of Logan
Airport, our members made sure essential travelers
could fly with ease. Cargo Steward Lesley Pizzano
(above) was recognized by the U.S. Army National
Guard, as she worked with them on several missions
when PPE arrived at the Air Canada terminal.
Our Massport workers at Logan
Airport, Hanscom and Worcester
Regional Airports worked during
this time to keep the airports
operational, and to make sure
that when normal travel resumes,
the public feels safe walking
through the terminals.

W e hope that everyone and their families are
continuing to stay safe during these uncertain
times. We would like to thank our essential
members for the job they do every day, as well as Local
25 officers, agents and staff, who have kept the union hall
running during this time.

the end of this pandemic.
Since the last Spokesman, we have rallied in support of
workers at Bradford Logistics who voted to join Local 25,
stood with HGSU-UAW students at Harvard University, and
supported MNA nurses at St. Elizabeth’s Medical Center over
unsafe staffing and patient care conditions.
In December, we got the chance to lend a hand with the
Local 25 annual Toy Drive. Like every year, it went off without
a hitch. It was really special to join co-chair Joe Conti to pick
up toys. We hope that the donations cheered up families in
need during the holiday season
For the third year this winter we partnered with the Labor
Guild Youth Caucus to host a four-part labor workshop series
at the Local 25 hall. The workshops covered many topics
including Internal Organizing and Building Coalitions. They James Smolinsky helping with the

everyone. Unfortunately, we had to cancel our annual Futures
Conference and New Member Orientation due to COVID-19.
We will look to reschedule when it is safe to do so.
Last month we participated in a May Day car rally for
essential workers in Boston. It was a phenomenal show of
support with more than 100 cars! It felt good to rally for
our essential employees out there on the frontlines risking
their health every day. Unfortunately, we know that there
are still many that are not given the adequate PPE or sick
time. We have zero tolerance for employers who like to
cut corners at the expense and well-being of our sister and
brother members. We are paying attention to these issues
when employers are showing their true colors, and we look
to use this as a prime example when educating our younger
members.
In closing, we would like to thank our President Sean Supporting workers at Bradford Logistics, from left, Rob
