Woo-hoo! Another Teamster organizing victory in IL!


Please welcome our nine new brothers and sisters who work as shuttle bus drivers with InterContinental Chicago O’Hare. They voted overwhelmingly to join Teamsters Local 727 in Park Ridge on Tuesday.

This new unit of shuttle bus drivers, employed by United Temps, is joining many of their counterparts from a wide range of major hotel chains. Teamsters Local 727 represents shuttle bus drivers, valets, doormen, bellmen and housekeepers at hotels across the Chicago area.

Local 727 President John Coli, Jr., welcomed the new Teamsters, saying,
As our Teamster family – and our hotel membership – grows, our union grows stronger. We are proud to welcome our newest members and proud to see them stand up for themselves in the workplace.
