Teamsters Local 238 Secretary-Treasurer Jesse Case joined the America’s Work Force Union Podcast and discussed the successful efforts by his Local to organize the campaign staff of President Joe Biden and other prominent Democrats in 2020. 

Local 238 represents the national staff of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) and the national staff of the newly organized Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC). It has represented more presidential campaigns than any other union.

Case talked about the Collective Bargaining Agreements his Local has won for campaign staff, including a defined work week, and a grievance and arbitration process that included just cause and employer sponsored healthcare plans.
