Teamsters Local 391 received important information from the IBT on how members affected by Hurricane Matthew can apply for assistance from the IBT.
"We appreciate the IBT committing resources to our brothers and sisters affected by this catostrophic storm," said Local 391 President Mike McGaha. "We know of members who lost their homes and cars, and we will work to help them rebuild. I do take comfort in knowing that we did not lose any Teamster lives or the lives of their families during Hurricane Matthew or during the aftermath."
President McGaha urged members to reach out to the IBT by using the attachment below or calling 202-624-8971.
"When we refer to each other, we say 'brothers' and 'sisters'", McGaha said. "That's because we are family, and family looks out for one another. That's why this fund was created: To take care of our Teamster family."
