The 31st Convention of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters took place Monday, June 15th through Thursday, June 18th. During the convention, the O’Brien-Zuckerman Teamsters United 2026 slate were re-elected for another 5-year term of office with 97% of the elected delegates casting ballots in support. None of the opposition candidates met the constitutionally required minimum 5% delegates threshold to trigger a vote of the entire Teamster membership. Teamster Canada candidates ran unopposed at the Convention and were re-elected by acclamation.
Among those elected is Mark Davison, Secretary-Treasurer of Local 162 and President of Teamsters Joint Council 37. Joint Council 37 extends a congratulations to President Davison for being re-elected to the IBT General Executive Board as an International Vice President for a second term. Mark got his start as a rank-and-file Teamster working as a preloader at UPS.
Since the O’Brien-Zuckerman team took office in 2022, they have organized over 100,000 workers, increased strike benefits, bargained and enforced historic contracts for our members, increased our political clout with a bi-partisan platform, and much more.
