HRDC

The Teamsters Human Rights & Diversity Commission takes pride in the strength that is drawn from the diversity within the Union’s ranks. Further, it recognizes that different physical and cultural qualities such as “race, age, color, religion, sex, disabilities, national origin, or gender identity” make individuals unique and deserving of respect. The Commission has been structured as a partnership in diversity by developing the Committee and implementing Task Forces. HRDC will build engagement, accountability, and outreach within all levels to build better lives for all Teamsters.
