_Trade Unions History from 1870
_In France, Germany, and other European countries, was form and building up trade unions, especially from the 1870s onwards. The Mechanics’ Union Trade Association was the next approach to bring workers together. In 1827, this union was the first US labour organization which brought together workers of divergent occupations.
historical space of 110 yearsThe rise of North America’s working families into the middle class, the empowerment of workers through collective bargaining and on-the-job protections of health, safety and retirement security lead to the establishment of a powerful voice for workers and dignity in the workplace. The strong-willed members of this great union made the 20th century the Teamster Century. Source: Teamster
The Benefits of Being a TeamsterIn addition to job protection, benefits and wages provided for in Teamster Contracts, the International Union provides for additional services offered at a discounted cost to the membership. Because of the strength and size of our membership, the International is able to negotiate these lower costs for services ranging from legal to medical to financial.

__Fatigue & working time in road transport____Fatigue is a growing health and safety concern for the road transport sector and it is the main cause of thousands of road transport accidents and fatalities each year. Governments and employers and workers and their organizations are making strides to combat fatigue, e.g. introducing new technologies, better working time legislation and improved enforcement. However, more needs to be done, especially in less developed countries. Preventive strategies can be implemented within the diverse range of political, economical and social environments in which the road transport industry operates. The ILO’s constituents, through social dialogue, can play a crucial role in developing and implementing these policies Source: ILO

What happens if America loses its unions - Are American unions history?Wisconsin - June 13, 2012 - What would America look like without a union movement? That’s not a hard question to answer, because we’re almost at that point. The rate of private-sector unionization has fallen below 7 percent, from a post-World War II high of roughly 40 percent. Already, the economic effects of a union-free America are glaringly apparent: an economically stagnant or downwardly mobile middle class, a steady clawing-back of job-related health and retirement benefits and ever-rising economic inequality.
