State Chapter Hosts
Wide Range of Activities
Bowling tournaments, Christmas parties, dances and cruises.
These are just a few of the activities that the Teamsters National Black
Caucus (TNBC) Massachusetts Chapter hosts on a regular basis.
Mike Little, a local organizer of the TNBC chapter and a
Yellow Freight Teamster, said they recently had a bowling tournament—one
of four they have each year. The chapter also
annually hosts a Christmas party, a boat cruise and a dance.
“The events we put on are always a good time,” Little said.
“We’re always looking for new members and we’ve got a great
group of members. The TNBC Mass Chapter is made up of
members from a variety of Teamster locals in the area. Anyone
interested should get in touch and come to one of our monthly
meetings.”
Little said the monthly meetings don’t have a regular meeting
spot, so interested members should contact him for the time
and place. Meetings are held in Roxbury on the first Saturday of
each month.

Local 25 Members Establish Women’s Committee
The newly formed Teamsters Local 25 Women’s Committee held its
first meeting on Saturday, March 10.
The committee plans to volunteer for various charitable events
and create a legislative action team on Beacon Hill. The women’s
committee was formed to:
• Unite women members to address their concerns and issues in the
workplace;
• Promote women’s involvement and recognition within their local
union and all levels of the Teamsters Union;
• Foster better relationships and communication between members;
• Help with organizing efforts and other activities, which further
the interests of the local union, and
• Strengthen and build solidarity within the local union.
