New Members

With Teamsters 856 expertise and contacts over the last five years, we have utilized their extensive team of professional negotiators, economics and class and compensation experts, attorneys, and communication staff, and held trainings for our Board members. MCMEA also utilized Teamsters attorneys in workplace investigations and discipline cases where our members need representation and through the grievance process, including hearings at the personnel commission and in court.

Through our partnership with Teamsters, we have won solid contracts for our members and negotiated through all the various and ever-changing COVID-related laws around leaves, working conditions, and workplace safety concerns at weekly meetings with the County.

Last year, with our Teamsters 856 Attorney and Negotiator Susanna Farber, we negotiated one of the best contracts in our history, including across-the-board COLA increases, increases in benefits, improvements to contract language, and equity adjustments for a large portion of our membership
