What Teamsters Local 1932 does

Teamsters Local 1932 is a labor union local representing over 16,000 workers across the Inland Empire region of Southern California, including San Bernardino and Riverside counties with recent expansion into the Coachella Valley and Low Desert. Formed in 2015 through affiliation with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters (founded 1903), the local provides collective bargaining representation, contract negotiation, grievance handling, workplace dispute resolution, and member advocacy services to both public and private sector workers. Its represented workforce spans municipal and county government employees (cities of Rancho Cucamonga, San Bernardino, Palm Springs, La Verne, Wildomar, Indio, San Bernardino County), healthcare workers (Arrowhead Regional Medical Center, Bear Valley Community Hospital), water utility employees (Coachella Valley Water District, Desert Water Agency, Indio Water Authority), K-12 educators (Hesperia Unified School District CTE teachers), and private sector logistics and beverage distribution workers including Amazon warehouse employees at the DJT6 facility in Riverside and Keurig Dr Pepper distribution workers.

The union's business model is built on recurring member dues, typically assessed as a percentage of wages, supplemented by voluntary contributions to its DRIVE (Democratic, Republican, Independent Voter Education) political action committee. Distribution occurs through workplace organizing campaigns in which field organizers conduct one-on-one meetings, group meetings, phone calls, and home visits to build majority support, followed by NLRB or PERB certification and first-contract negotiations. The union's service platform spans a Health & Welfare Trust administered by Zenith American Solutions with Blue Shield, Kaiser, Delta Dental, and EyeMed coverage; the Teamsters Local 1932 Training Center in San Bernardino for workforce development; a mobile app; the Teamsters Radio Network and Teamster View Podcast; member discount programs; a Steward Resource Center; and multiple member committees (Hispanic Caucus, LGBTQ+ Committee, Women's Committee, Black Caucus) plus a Retiree Committee. Member-facing engagement is multi-channel including website, Instagram, Facebook committee pages, billboard campaigns, and radio programming.

Governance follows standard union democratic structure with a member-elected Executive Board. Randy Korgan serves as Secretary-Treasurer and Principal Officer, also acting as Director of the Teamsters Amazon Division; Kathleen Brennan serves as President. The local operates under the umbrella of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters and Teamsters Joint Council 42, which provide resources, regional coordination, and collective bargaining strength.
