The Case for Tripling Union Membership
07/17/26 - Teamsters Local 355 July 17, 2026 | ECONOMY | Imagine union membership tripling in the United States. It may sound radical—if you’ve forgotten history. In fact, more than 1 in 3 private-sector workers belonged to a union in the 1950s. The results? Wages grew in tandem with the economy. The middle class thrived. Black-white wage gaps shrank. Broadly shared economic growth was a reality, not an aspiration. |

WTWT Memo - Termination of BCBSNM Effective September 1, 2026
07/09/26 - Teamsters Local 492 WTWT Memo - Termination of BCBSNM Effective September 1, 2026 To: All Active Western Teamsters Welfare Trust Participants Who Participate in the BlueCross BlueShield New Mexico (BCBSNM): RE: Termination of BCBSNM Effective September 1, 2026 7/9/2026 - BCBSNM’s premiums have been increasing at an alarming rate and they are the most expensive HMO option in the 11-state area covered by the Trust. Over the years, the Trust has communicated to BCBSNM that if their premiums continue to increase, then it would be likely that the Trust will terminate BCBSNM as an option. Unfortunately, BCBSNM proposed another increase for the September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2027, plan year. BCBSNM remains the most expensive HMO option at a monthly premium of $3,018.84 per Active employee. For comparison’s sake, the Trust’s self-funded benefits currently cost on average $1,908.79 per Active per month or $1,110.05 a month less than the BCBSNM rate. |
