Teamsters
Truck Driver, Heavy / Tractor-Trailer - (City withheld for privacy), Michigan, United States
My company is is under the supervision of the United Brotherhood of Teamsters. They are the Union that gives us GREAT medical benefits. I pay next to nothing for medical. They also give us great job security. I also have a real retirment plan, not one of those 401k's. The best thing about being a Teamster is you get payed 1.5 hours for every hour I work overtime. If you want all of those great benefits, you must find a company that is Unionized.

Well being of employees
Truck Driver, Heavy / Tractor-Trailer - (City withheld for privacy), Illinois, United States
To whom it may concern: Jobs that do not offer medical benefits for employees should at least offer partial benefits. The reason being is that the employee will earn more of his/her longterm stay and appreciation.
