Letter of Understanding (LOU)

Letter of Understanding (LOU): An agreement between the Union and the employer. A LOU is often attached to a Collective Agreement.

Local Union: A union organization formed under the constitution of a national or parent union. Local 464 is under Teamsters Canada and The International Brotherhood of Teamsters. Local Unions such as 464 have their own bylaws and elect their own Officers.

Testimonial

"I was a Shop Steward and was also on the contract negotiation team. The Union took the time and trouble to learn all about our industry and what we do. This means they are better able to fight for us whether it is on the job or at the bargaining table. We have the best contract in our industry. Thanks guys!"

- Gerald Price - Agrifoods

A message from a retiring 464 member:

- Dave S

"I have been a member of Teamsters Local 464 for 23 years and have seen many of the executives come and go. Some of the previous executives nearly ran the Local into bankruptcy including losing our pension. Bobby Kornhass, Bob Ryder and Paul Barton brought us back from the brink. Since they took over in 2000, we at Dairyland (Saputo) have had the best contracts I have seen since I have been there."
