EOThat's the whole mission, stitched on the patch and carried into every grievance panel, every organizing drive, and every bargaining table. Everything this slate does gets measured against those three words.
Aggressive contract enforcement, fast grievance handling, stewards trained and backed on every job. Health, welfare, and pension security treated as untouchable — no givebacks dressed up as progress.
Local 25 built the strongest freight, movie, trade-show, and package delivery standards along with solid waste division and recycling in New England. What generations fought for doesn't get bargained away on our watch.
Organize the unorganized — warehousing, production, and the new regulated industries coming to Massachusetts. Bring the next generation in with a seat at the table, not a look through the window.
Five values, straight from the barn floor. Every position we take traces back to one of these.
Irish, American, Puerto Rican — the patch is the point. This local wins because it looks like Boston: every neighborhood, every language, every generation. One card, one contract, one union. An injury to one is an injury to all, and we mean it on every picket line.
Members vote, and the vote is final. Bargaining committees come from the shop floor, negotiations stay transparent, and no contract gets implemented over the members' no vote. The hall belongs to the people who pay the dues.
Calls get returned. Grievances get filed on time and fought hard. Business agents show up at the barn, on the dock, and on the lot. Members first always — not just at election time. Representation is a service, and the standard for it is the same standard we demand from employers: striving for excellence, every day.
Every nonunion operator undercutting Teamster standards is a threat to every member's paycheck — so we organize, and we organize everywhere. Solid waste and recycling. Trucking and freight. Public sector. Healthcare. The emerging markets writing their rules right now. Wherever the work is, Local 25's Community Standard fights are flipping job sites and creating new Teamster jobs with real wages, real benefits, and real respect. And that opportunity reaches further: these industries are where many of Boston's immigrant workers earn their living — and organizing them opens the union's door to the newest generation of Teamster families, the same way this local once opened it for every generation that built Boston. A card, a contract, and a path to the middle class. That's opportunity.
Beasts of the East - We demand respect, dignity, and the benefits our people have earned — and we do not ask twice. Provoke this local and we strike. We bring the fight to the table, and if the table won't move, we bring it to the street. That's not a threat; it's a promise kept for 123 years. Hatch–Alvarado are the Beasts of the East, we will improve, preserve, and protect everything the Teamsters built before us — and hand it down stronger than we found it. This is our legacy. We intend to be worthy of it.
Local 25 is where General President Sean O'Brien came up — a fourth-generation Boston Teamster who joined this local as a young man, led it as its president, and took the fight he learned here to all 1.3 million members of the International. The militancy, the contract democracy, the strike-readiness that now define the Teamsters nationally were forged in this hall first.
Re-elected alongside General Secretary-Treasurer Fred Zuckerman in June 2026, the General President laid a foundation this slate is proud to stand on: grow the union, back the members, and never let a contract be forced on people who voted it down. Hatch–Alvarado isn't a departure from that legacy — it's the Charlestown chapter of it, carried forward.
Boston's Teamsters have never waited for a fight to come to them — and this campaign doesn't either. The next chapter gets written by members: at the barn meetings where the priorities get set, on the job sites where the standard gets enforced, and in the new industries where the next generation of Teamsters is waiting to be organized. Warehousing, logistics, distribution, and any other industry seeking representation.
The Hatch–Alvarado slate isn't asking you to watch a campaign — we are asking you to be one. Bring your questions from the barn. Bring your brothers and sisters to the union hall. Bring the fight forward. Local 25 made the East respect it. Members keep it that way.
