Teamsters Local 700 Welcomes New Members

Teamsters Local 700 continues to grow in size and strength and roughly as over one dozen members are welcomed to the union.


Eleven Braidwood Police Officers unanimously voted to join Local 700 on Sept. 9. After receiving unsatisfactory contract negotiation results from their previous union, MAP, the members took it into their own hands. Braidwood is located roughly 60 miles southwest of Chicago.

“Now we know that we have someone on our side that’s willing to fight for us,” said Jack McCasland, new Local 700 member who has been with the department for nine years. “It seemed like MAP was fighting for MAP. Now we have someone fighting for what we want.”

Local 700 representatives will immediately begin meeting with the new members to work on proposals for contract negotiations.


After over a year of hard work, Local 700 is proud to welcome five new members from the Adult Probation Administrator Supervisor and Social Service Administrator unit. The local congratulates these members and welcomes them to the bargaining unit.
