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.
