Andrew joins Teamsters Local 320 from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, bringing a relentless passion for organizing and advocating for working people.
Before beginning his career as an organizer, Andrew worked as a truck driver for Cintas. He didn't come from a union background, yet he learned the labor movement quickly as he got involved with the Teamsters. What he did know was that he and his fellow drivers were labor truck drivers working under a complicated commission only pay structure that didn't seem right. Determined to make a change, Andrew reached out to a friend who drove for Bimbo Bakeries in Philadelphia and was represented by the Teamsters. After learning about the organizing process from his friend's business agent, Andrew began talking with his coworkers and collecting authorization cards. Once about half of the drivers had signed, management learned about the campaign. The very next day, Andrew was fired over a fabricated customer complaint. Rather than walking away, Andrew doubled down. Every morning at 4:00 a.m., he was outside the Cintas facility with signs on his car, a megaphone in hand, and even Scabby the Rat during the final three weeks leading up to the union election. Although the organizing drive ultimately fell short by just a handful of votes, Andrew successfully challenged his illegal termination and won a settlement against the company.
That experience led the International Brotherhood of Teamsters to hire Andrew as an organizer, giving him the opportunity to help workers organize across the country. During his time working with Teamsters Local 320 in Minnesota, he recognized something special about the local's leadership, staff, and commitment to its members. They saw something in him as well. On the very day Andrew planned to pursue a promotion with the International, Local 320 offered him a position. After discussing the opportunity with his family, they encouraged him to take the role where he believed he could make the greatest impact.
Today, Andrew is proud to call Minnesota home and is committed to doing everything he can to serve and fight for Teamsters members across the state. He looks forward to meeting members, helping however he can, and continuing to build worker power throughout Minnesota. Go Birds!
