The Chicago Teamsters Hispanic Caucus was invited to attend a function sponsored by JC 25 at the Maywood Park on September 30, 2011.

In attendance was IBT President Hoffa and JC 25 President Coli they were joined by approximately 1,500 Teamster Brothers and Sisters. 

The Unity of our Brothers and Sister was Awe-Inspiring. 

The Chicago Teamsters Hispanic Caucus was invited by Local 710 to attend their Regular Membership Meeting on October 2, 2011. 

I.B.T. Secretary Treasurer Tom Keegle was a special guest at the meeting.  Brother Keegle spoke about the need to remain united against the war the 'fat cats' are bringing to the middle class.

It was an honor for the CTHC to attend Local 710's meeting and listen to Brother Keegle's motivational speech. 

We wish him all the best in his retirement.

At the meeting the Chicago Teamsters Hispanic Caucus was informed of the upcoming retirement of CTHC Trustee Ray Franco. 

Brother Franco has been a part of the CTHC for many years and is one of the members who has helped the Caucus to evolve through the years. His commitment to the Caucus is admirable! No matter what we needed we can always count on him for support.

We wish you all the best Brother Franco in your retirement and we hope we still see you around.  

CTHC Recording Secretary Mike Ramirez took part in a National program called Labor in the Pulpits which was put together by The Chicago Federation Of Labor and Arise Chicago. As a volunteer speaker, he had the opportunity to reflect on the connection between faith and work (see attached speech).

There were hundreds if not thousands of union members visiting congregations such as churches, temples, and mosques throughout the Chicago area. We would like to offer a Special Thanks to Father Robert Casey and Father Bolivar who welcomed Chicago Teamsters Hispanic Caucus.
