Teamster
Local 1150 represents approximately 3500 members employed
by Sikorsky Aircraft in Alabama, Connecticut and Florida.
As craftspeople, our members build, repair and overhaul commercial
and military helicopters that have been used in wide variety
of industrial, war and lifesaving applications. Teamsters
Local 1150 was chartered as a craft union on January 16, 1963.
We do not have a general charter and are limited to exclusively
our craft. These two features: interstate membership and focus
on one industry limits our direct organizing efforts to only
our industry but creates a very unique role in the political,
craft membership and demographic arena.
In
the labor movement, Teamsters Local 1150 is a member of the
Fairfield County Labor Council and has supported a variety
of initiatives, drives and rallies sponsored by fellow Teamster
Locals, other trade and service unions and other Central Labor
Councils. Additionally, Local 1150 is the only labor organization
to be a member of the Corporate Volunteer Council, a locally-sponsored
United Way initiative that was selected to host an advanced
seminar at last year's national Points of Light conference
in Las Vegas.
Besides
our member's individual commitments to community service and
the labor movement, Teamster Local 1150 conducts an annual
food drive, an annual toy drive, supports the Connecticut
State Special Olympics Summer games, Hartford Connecticut's
Symphony on Ice, St. Vincent's Medical Association Swim Across
the Sound, the National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC)
food drive, and membership drives for the Teamsters National
Black Caucus and International Teamsters Women's Caucus. Last
year, Teamsters Local 1150 established and co-sponsored the
Walk to Prevent Women's Cancers which raised over $ 70,000;
established a Teamster's Local 1150 Scholarship fund and received
a Outstanding Labor Recognition award for participation by
the United Way of Eastern Fairfield County.
Teamster's
Local 1150 is led by Secretary-Treasurer Rocco
Calo.
