About Us:
The Original Charter for Teamsters Local 1040 is dated August 10, 1953. Formerly the Brewery Workers Union, our jurisdiction now includes Brewery and Soft Drink Workers, Liquor Drivers, New and Used Car Workers, throughout Bridgeport and vicinity.

Within the past year, Local 1040 has been actively organizing in the liquor industry and automotive dealerships in the Bridgeport area. One dealership, owned by actor Paul Newman, is presently awaiting a decision from the National Labor Relations Board regarding the unjust discharge of two salesmen prior to a representation election. Another Ford dealership, Stevens Ford in Milford, CT was recently found guilty of charges resulting from the discharge of an inplant organizer for Local 1040.

Presently the PBG Company (Pepsi Bottling Group) is planning a new warehouse for the Southern Connecticut area that will service all of Fairfield and New Haven counties and the Port Chester, NY, area.
