In Memoriam: Teamsters Lost to COVID-19

“To all our Teamster families who have lost loved ones in the COVID-19 pandemic, we offer our condolences and support. While this crisis is touching every corner of our society, the heaviest burden is falling on working class families who are on the frontline of caring for the sick, moving supplies, and getting us through this crisis. We mourn all those that we have lost. We stand in solidarity with essential workers and celebrate all our members for their service to our community.”

George L. Miranda, President, Teamsters Joint Council 16

Due to the nature of the COVID-19 emergency, we may not be aware of all members who have been lost. Please send COVID-19 related death notices for Teamster members to info@teamstersjc16.com and we will add them to this website.
