JC 32 DRIVE - Political Action for Working Families

Winning at the negotiating table is only part of the battle for working families.  We also need victories in the political arena.  That means electing worker-friendly candidates and providing them with the support they need to advance a progressive agenda on critical issues. These include issues such as workers' rights, health care, social security, transportation, education, pensions and trade.

JC 32 DRIVE (Democrat-Republican-Independent-Voter-Education) is our political action committee. JC 32 active and retired members support DRIVE through their contributions.

We screen and recommend candidates for state and federal office based on their record and willingness to commit to a pro-worker agenda.  Since the Teamsters are famously independent, our endorsements span the political spectrum.

We organize Teamsters and their families to volunteer on behalf of DRIVE-endorsed candidates, and contribute urgently needed funds to their campaigns. 

And once elected, we work with them to pass legislation to improve the lives of working families everywhere.

The JC 32 DRIVE Commission multiplies our influence by working with the IBT's National DRIVE office on labor-friendly issues in the U.S. Senate and Congress.
