The Teamsters History Project is looking for history, photos, or stories from the Local Union, as well as preparing a history book on ‘Teamster Participation During Major Conflicts’ to honour the sacrifice of thousands of Teamsters who served in the American and Canadian Armed Forces throughout history.
As part of this book, a list of all casualties incurred by Teamster members will be included. Much of this information has been drawn from The International Teamster Magazine. Unfortunately, not all battle fatalities were published in the Magazine, as not all Local Unions reported casualties to the International Union. In order to give credit to the many Teamster service-members who paid the price for freedom, the Project needs to acquire an accurate count of all casualties.
For further information, please contact Blythe Gunson at 604-876-6464 or team464admin@telus.net
