    For Democratic Unions!

    Out with the Bureaucracy!

    Unions are organs of workers defense, yet they are led by bureaucrats who care only for their perks and privileges. It’s for this reason the brass seek “friends” among the bosses while silencing the rank and file, avoiding the class battles necessary to defend our interests. To empower the membership, and as part of the fight for a new, class-struggle leadership, COFTU calls for:

    • Average workers’ wages for union officers!
    • Direct elections of the international president and vice presidents, local chairman, stewards and all union positions! 
    • One year terms and direct recall by simple majority!
    • Dues collected directly by the union and paid by all—no perks for stewards!
    • Open negotiations!
    • Full disclosure and open discussion of contract proposals in advance of a vote, taken at mass meetings!

    Teamsters Against ICE

    COFTU has endorsed the petition below, initiated by Teamsters Mobilize.

    We, the undersigned Teamsters and supporters of the union movement, demand that the International Brotherhood of Teamsters leadership:

    1. Condemn the state executions of Renee Good and Alex Pretti by ICE and CBP agents.
    2. Organize for an end to any contracts with ICE, including the ICE/UPS contract.
    3. Defend members who refuse to comply with ICE operations on the job.
    4. ⁠Hold local meetings, open to all membership in person and on Zoom, to discuss the ongoing state terror against the working class, and the potential use of political strikes to fight back.
    5. Defend the people’s right to bear arms, as is protected by the Second Amendment.
    6. Oppose the spread of the dystopian surveillance technology developed by Palantir and other companies for US federal agencies, which is being used on all people regardless of immigration status and is a test run for fascist rule in the US.
    7. Call for the abolition of ICE, a brutal and anonymous federal police force. The first step is its immediate removal from US cities. ICE is a new and disturbing outgrowth of the state and a product of the so-called “War on Terror.” ICE is not just a threat to immigrants, but to all workers in the US.
