Description: Teamsters Joint Council 16 represents 120,000 workers in Downstate New York and Puerto Rico. Joint Council 16 represents workers in a wide range of industries inclusive of horse carriage drivers, truck drivers, public housing workers, airline staff, newspaper printers, film industry workers, manufacturers, construction workers, grocery workers and others.

Facing freezing weather and police brutality, the workers refused to concede their demand of Hunts Point Produce Market to raise hourly wage by $1-per-hour. On January 23rd, workers voted to end their strike after approving a new contract that includes a $1.85 wage increase over three years and ends out-of-pocket payments for family healthcare plans.

Description: Free them All for Public Health, or #freethemall4publichealth, is a campaign that demands the release of incarcerated people. The campaign recognizes a longer-term goal of abolition; however, it calls for immediate reductions of prosecution, probation, and court monitoring; the release of people from jails; and the release of people from prisons as measures of reducing the spread of COVID-19. The campaign calls upon individuals to participate in "zaps," actions in which elected officials, and individuals associated with the Department of Corrections, are contacted en masse through phone calls, faxes, emails, and social media. This website documents not only the demands of Free Them All, but the demands of incarcerated people at three city jails. It also lists actions, provides resources on decarceration and abolition, and links to recent news related to COVID-19 and incarceration. #freethemall4publichealth is a parallel campaign with #CloseRikersNOW.

Description: Teamsters Joint Council 16 represents 120,000 workers in Downstate New York and Puerto Rico. Joint Council 16 represents workers in a wide range of industries inclusive of horse carriage drivers, truck drivers, public housing workers, airline staff, newspaper printers, film industry workers, manufacturers, construction workers, grocery workers and others. During COVID-19, many Teamsters were designated as "essential workers." In January of 2020, over 1,400 essential workers at Hunts Point Produce Market — the largest wholesale produce market in the country — launched a historic, week-long strike. Facing freezing weather and police brutality, the workers refused to concede their demand of Hunts Point Produce Market to raise hourly wage by $1-per-hour. On January 23rd, workers voted to end their strike after approving a new contract that includes a $1.85 wage increase over three years and ends out-of-pocket payments for family healthcare plans. The Teamsters Joint Council 16 Facebook account provides a visual record of the on-the-ground struggle of the strike.
