Over 98 Years Of Union Excellence

Welcome to Theatrical Teamsters Local 817

 

Chartered in 1926 as a Theatrical Local of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, our members have been driving for Film and Television in New York for over 90 years. 

 

Today, we represent not only Theatrical Drivers, but also members of the Casting and Locations community.

THEATRICAL TEAMSTERS

LOCAL 817

For more than a century, The Teamsters Union has helped millions of workers achieve the American Dream. Our success is a testament to those who came before us, who stood together to form a union and a labor movement. These workers fought for the rights and privileges that today most Americans take for granted. Without the solidarity of unions, there would be no weekends, no pensions and no health insurance. The best way to celebrate Teamster history is to highlight the actions and events that improved working and living standards for American families and communities.
