WASHINGTON, Sept. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Teamsters General President Sean M. O'Brien and Teamsters members from Corewell Health East and Breakthru Beverage will join Representatives Donald Norcross (D-NJ,1^st District), Pete Stauber (R-MN, 8^th District), and union allies for the introduction of the Faster Labor Contracts Act on Tuesday, Sept. 16 on Capitol Hill.

Teamsters members will join federal lawmakers to share their experience in fighting for a first contract and make the case for passage of the Faster Labor Contracts Act.
