Teamsters Local No. 813

What Teamsters Local No. 813 does

Teamsters Local Union No. 813 is a labor union local chartered in September 1951 by the International Brotherhood of Teamsters (IBT) and headquartered at 48-18 Van Dam Street, Suite 201, Long Island City, New York. The union represents workers across private sanitation, resource recovery, recycling, transfer stations, funeral and cemetery, livery, automobile rental, casket and vault, paper and corrugated, container and drum, demolition, and factory/warehouse industries throughout the New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut metropolitan area. Its jurisdiction expanded materially in the mid-1990s when IBT Locals 27 and 1034 were merged into Local 813. The union operates as a constituent local of Joint Council 16, which coordinates 27 affiliated Teamsters locals representing approximately 120,000 members across the New York metro, and is part of the broader IBT structure.

The union's core service is collective bargaining representation — negotiating legally binding agreements covering wages, hours, benefits, and working conditions with employers across its covered industries. Local 813 administers a multi-fund benefits stack including the Local 813 Insurance Trust Fund, Pension Trust Funds (Local 813, Local 1034, Local 27), Local 813 Savings & Thrift Trust Fund, and a Severance and Retirement Trust Fund. Supplementary member services include the James R. Hoffa Memorial Scholarship Fund ($1,000-$10,000 academic awards; $500-$2,000 vocational awards), the Teamsters Scholarship Fund, free CDL training classes via Joint Council 16, a Shop Stewards training program, worker rights advocacy resources (Weingarten Rights, Wage & Hour, Health & Safety, FMLA), and supplemental insurance partnerships with AFLAC and National Income Life Insurance. Politically, the union participates in D.R.I.V.E., the Teamsters Political Action Committee supporting candidates at all government levels.

The business model is member-funded: members pay recurring dues, initiation fees, and assessments as determined through collective bargaining agreements, financing union operations, member services, and benefit trust fund contributions. Local 813 is member-governed under the IBT constitution, led by President & Principal Officer Daniel L. Wright, Secretary Treasurer Bonacio Crespi, Vice President Richard Laecca, and an Executive Board of Trustees and Business Agents. The union is a nonprofit labor organization with no public funding rounds, no proprietary technology products, and revenue that is not publicly disclosed.
