2026 Washington State Labor Council Lobby Day On February 5, 2026, your Teamster representatives joined other unions from across Washington State to lobby in solidarity at the Washington State Labor Council Lobby. This year we advocated for legislation that impacts our industries and affects the lives of working people.

Congratulations to Teamsters Local 231's Executive Board who was elected by "white ballot" on November 5, 2025. Heather Ewing has been sworn in as the 25th Sectetary-Treasurer and the first woman to fill this role in the Local's 116 year history.

Congratulations to Rich Ewing on his retirement from over 15 years of work and dedication to Teamsters Local 231. Rich is a second generation Teamster as his father was a proud member of Local 231 working in the freight and moving & storage industries.  In 1991, Rich started his Teamster career at Yellow Freight.

The Teamsters Local 231 holiday party was a great success! There were well over 100 members in attendance and over $1,200.00 was raised for the Skagit and Whatcom County food banks. The generous members brought in piles of toys that were distributed to the local toys for tots charity.

Congratulations to all the Leaders and Shop Stewards that attended the Teamsters Local 231 Steward Seminar on October 25, 2025. Topics at the seminar included the role of the Steward, the Rights of the Steward, and Organizing & Moving workers into action.

Thank you to everyone who came out to the Teamsters Local 231 Solidarity Night at the Bellingham Bells game! Teamsters members and their families were treated to Texas Roadhouse catering.
