Notice: BE SURE TO GET A WITHDRAWAL CARD
It is important to get a withdrawal card from the Local Union if you do not work and are not being paid by your Employer. This applies if you terminate your employment, go on unpaid sick leave, workers compensation, a leave of absence, are laid off, or for any reason you do not work and are not being paid by your Employer. Members must request a withdrawal card. Failure to request a withdrawal card will make you responsible for all back dues and possibly a re-initiation fee. Your request should be submitted before the end of the month in which you last worked. A withdrawal card allows a member to maintain his or her membership on an inactive basis. In other words, you will not owe union dues for any months you did not work after you obtain the withdrawal card. Additionally, this allows you to avoid paying a re-initiation fee when you return to employment.
You can request a withdrawal card by mail or by clicking on and printing the withdrawal form.

Meloxicam is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that is commonly used to treat pain, inflammation, and stiffness caused by conditions such as arthritis and osteoarthritis. It works by reducing the production of certain chemicals in the body that cause pain and inflammation. Teamsters Local 429 is a labor union that represents workers in various industries, including transportation, warehousing, and healthcare. The union is committed to protecting the rights and interests of its members, including advocating for fair wages, benefits, and working conditions. In recent years, there has been a growing concern about the use of NSAIDs, including meloxicam, and their potential side effects. As a result, Teamsters Local 429 has been actively working with employers to ensure that their members are educated about the risks and benefits of using these medications. The union has also been advocating for alternative pain management options, such as physical therapy and acupuncture, to reduce the reliance on NSAIDs. By promoting a holistic approach to pain management, Teamsters Local 429 is not only looking out for the well-being of its members, but also promoting a healthier and safer workplace.Monday through Friday – 7:00 A.M.
