Teamsters Union Local No. 2 was issued its charter on May 2, 1910.
This year marks 100 years of success for the workers of Montana. Local 2 started out representing miners in the Butte area and now represents workers in many diverse occupations including law enforcement, health care, truck drivers, food service, graphic communications, solid waste, motion picture industry, and the airline industry just to name a few.
To celebrate our Centennial we will be having a number of social events throughout our jurisdiction including Missoula, Kalispell, Butte, Bozeman, Great Falls and Havre. A tentative schedule of events is listed below:
Each local event will include food and beverage, games and fun for the entire family.

Putting together a large celebration is a daunting task. Our administrative staff is working hard to coordinate everything to make each event fun and meaningful for all of our members. They could use some help though. If you are interested in helping set up/clean up, please contact the office closest to you.
We are also looking for anyone who has a story to tell about what being a member of this Local has meant for them. If you know of any retirees who would like to share their memories of the earlier days of the Local we would love to hear from them!
Also, any pictures you may have featuring Teamsters at work would be a wonderful addition to the travelling history display we are putting together, and may also be used on our website.
