The labor movement is on the upswing but is being held back by outdated labor laws.  Vote for the candidates that support YOU!

Teamsters Local 786 members from Prairie Materials, along with President Eddie Rizzo, withstood torrential rainfall this weekend in support of the Veterans' Home located in Manteno, Illinois, to attend their annual motorcycle ride.  Local 786 members have been attending the event for the past 13 years.

"Adverse conditions did not stop these retired veterans from fighting for our freedoms, and that undeniable perseverance is what inspired our members to endure this past weekend's unfortunate weather." Stated President Rizzo.

The Teamsters Local 786 Executive Board and staff would like to congratulate Madison Sims on being selected as one of the top recipients of the 2022 James R. Hoffa Memorial Scholarship.

Madison is the daughter of third generation Teamster and Prairie Materials employee, Daniel Sims.

Madison graduated from Evergreen Park High School with an incredible 3.99 GPA and will be going on to study business at Marquette University.

Everybody at Teamsters Local 786 wishes you the best for your future.

The Teamsters Local 786 Executive Board and staff would like to wish you and all of our brothers and sisters a happy Labor Day. Your hard work and tenacity are what keep this country moving. Today is your day.
