In a powerful reminder of what union solidarity truly means, Tom Woods, Business Representative for Transportation Concepts at Lake Transit, recently presented a financial assistance check to Teamsters Local member Ron Ross, whose home was tragically lost in a fire.

Tom Woods personally delivered the check on behalf of the Local, reinforcing the commitment that Teamsters stand together — not just at the bargaining table, but in life’s most challenging moments.

“This is what being a Teamster is about,” Woods shared. “We fight for each other at work, and we support each other outside of work. No member stands alone.”

“In one of the hardest moments of my life, my Teamsters family stood with me. I’ll never forget that.”-Ron Ross, Teamsters Local 665 member.
