What's New at Teamsters 568

Oath of Obligation

We have included the Teamster's Oath on this website as a reminder for all members, new or not, that we take an oath to each other and to this organization. The purpose of this oath is to bind us all one to another and to serve as a statement about who we are as Teamsters and what we stand for. We are all stronger if we stand together, united in solidarity, than if we stand apart, isolated.

We ask new members to be sworn-in during the initiation process, but at that time, all workers stand and take the oath with the new members as a reminder that no one stands alone in this union.

Fraternally,

Doug Beckham,

Secretary-Treasurer &

Business Manager
