Your Union. Your Vote. Your Power
The IBT Delegates Election is your opportunity to shape the future of Teamsters Local 31 — and the entire Teamsters movement.

When you vote for delegates who represent members — not insiders — you’re investing in a union that works for you, with you, and because of you.
Why Change Is Overdue at Local 31?
After decades of the same leadership, members are demanding answers:
Where exactly are our dues going — and why isn’t it transparent?

Why is the executive board dominated by family members and friends?

Why do some Shop Stewards receive training while others are ignored?


Why is there no Youth Committee or Women’s Committee?

Why donate to U.S. charities instead of more Canadian causes?

Why are General Membership meetings inaccessible for members outside the Lower Mainland?


You’ve asked these questions. You deserve real answers — and real change!

The Bethel Unity Slate Will Deliver That Change

We’re committed to restoring transparency, fairness, and member-first leadership at Local 31.

What Is the IBT Delegates Election — and Why It Matters

This isn’t a symbolic vote. Delegates elected now represent Teamsters at the IBT International Convention.

The delegates you elect today help decide the future of the Teamsters tomorrow. 🗳️ Elect the Bethel Unity Slate for 2026

At the Convention, delegates vote on:

  • General President & Executive Leadership

  • Reforms to the Teamsters Constitution

  • Strategic priorities affecting contracts, pensions, and workers’ rights
