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.
