The Solidarity Podcast is the official Podcast of Teamsters Local 769 in Miami, FL. We have a long and proud heritage of representing South Florida Teamsters in numerous industries and helping workers organize their workplace to become union members. We take pride in our Union and our members and will fight for a living wage for all Americans. Subscribe and join us for each episode as we discuss topics that will help workers stand up against the erosion of their quality of life and understand all of the benefits to which they are entitled.

Teamsters Local 769 represents Teamster brothers and sisters in South Florida, from Orlando to Key West and we lead the way in workers rights in an age where collective bargaining has proven to be the last line of defense against rampant corporate greed.
