"Tom" Keegel
General
Secretary-Treasurer |
As your Secretary-Treasurer, I’m proud to report that our financial position
is the best it has been in quite some time. In 2003, we ran our first budget
surplus in more than a decade and the strict financial controls adopted
under this administration have put an end to the years of irresponsible and
scandalous spending. I pledge to you my commitment to continue the measures
that have led to the solid financial growth of this institution. As our
financial strength grows, so does our collective bargaining strength, our
organizing power, our political voice and most importantly, our ability to
serve you, our members.
It is great to be a Teamster today because our strength
and pride has returned. In unity, we are achieving our goal of Building
Better Lives Together. We are successful—be it through organizing,
bargaining, or contract enforcement—when we are united.
Remember — UNITED WE WIN.
