The PPPWU Difference
Though the Teamsters make initial inroads, once workers learn that the Teamsters cannot guarantee any improvements and what benefits they will lose if they leave the PPPWU, they often become disillusioned by the Teamsters’ efforts. The strength of our contract and benefits often lead to workers rejecting the Teamsters’ advances.

History with the IBT

From Merger to Money-grab

The PPPWU, formerly called the Graphic Communications Conference of the IBT, was previously in an 18-year merger agreement relationship with the Teamsters.

The Teamsters have attempted to raid its former merger partner’s bargaining units ever since.
