A Message From President Brian Clardy...

“Teamsters Local Union 509 extends our deepest sympathies to each and every one of you experiencing the devastating aftermath of Hurricane Helene.

Our offices have had limited access for communication with power outages and internet outages. However, we are here for our brothers and sisters in our communities! If there’s a need we can help supply, reach out to us. We are working to send resources to neighboring Union Halls in North Carolina in an attempt to alleviate their needs as well.

God bless you and your families.” --Local Union 509 President Brian Clardy
