Teamsters Local 166 — Local services in Bloomington

Beware

My experience with Local 166 has been extremely disappointing and disheartening. I turned to them for support and assistance when I needed help the most, only to find that they were completely ineffective and unsupportive. Instead of fighting for my job or advocating on my behalf, it felt like they were more focused on supporting the company's interests over mine.

The lack of action and disregard for my concerns from this union left me feeling abandoned and dismissed. It's evident that this local is plagued by corruption and is not truly looking out for the best interests of its members. My interaction with them has been nothing short of a nightmare, and I would caution anyone considering joining Local 166 to think twice before doing so.

Overall, my experience with Local 166 has been one of the worst I've had with a union. They failed to provide the help and support I needed, and instead, they prioritized the company's agenda over the well-being of their members. It's a shame to see a union behave in such a way, and I would strongly advise others to look elsewhere for representation...

Might as well go golfing with management and tell the workers how ungrateful they are. Union reps only hand out pens and smiles for how much...
