The Ohio Teamsters Strike Fund recently honored Teamsters 89 with a certificate marking the 20th anniversary of the Strike Fund, and thanking Local 89 for being a long-time participant. 

This fund provides strike benefits for more than 75,000 Teamsters from 37 IBT Local Unions across fourteen different states. Since it went active in 1995, the fund has paid out more than $8.2 million dollars in strike benefits to our brothers and sisters in need. Today the fund contains a historic high of $9.5 million in assets. Due to solid management and secure investment strategies, the strike fund continues to grow.

Shortly after taking office in 2001, President Fred Zuckerman chose to add Teamsters 89 to the Ohio Teamsters Strike Fund in order to better protect the members of our great local union. Since our participation began, many of our striking brothers and sisters have benefited from both the IBT Strike Fund and the Ohio Teamsters Strike Fund. The additional benefits provided by the Ohio Teamsters Strike Fund vastly improved our members’ abilities and resolve to walk picket lines, while providing far greater financial stability during their righteous fights for better wages and employment benefits.

Teamsters 89 is proud to be a participant in such a strong fund with such a noble cause. We are happy to know that when the time comes to strike, our members will be better protected as a result of the Ohio Teamsters Strike Fund.
