More than 50 Teamsters from across New England participated in a National Pipeline Industry Training at the Teamsters Local 25 Training Center in Tewksbury, Massachusetts, US, last week, taking part in a programme focused on education, career advancement, and expanding opportunities in the pipeline industry.
The training featured presentations from leadership across multiple Teamsters divisions, offering attendees valuable insight into the thriving pipeline sector.
“Pipeline Teamsters have some of the most secure careers in the industry because of efforts like the National Pipeline Industry Training programme,” said Teamsters General President Sean M. O’Brien. “Pipeline training is key to earning better paychecks, stronger retirement security, and more opportunities for year-round work. When our members succeed, their families are more secure and our communities are stronger — and that’s exactly what this union is fighting.”
The programme was led by the Teamsters Pipeline Division and highlighted work opportunities in the industry, along with information on benefits, pay scales, and career pathways for Pipeline Teamsters. The seminar also provided an opportunity for members from across the region to connect, share experiences, and build relationships.
“This programme is about creating as many opportunities for Teamsters to earn a living and support their families as possible,” said Tom Mari, President of Local 25 and Secretary-Treasurer of Teamsters Joint Council 10 New England. “For our members in seasonal industries or those facing temporary slowdowns, pipeline work is a reliable way to generate income year-round. Pipeline Teamsters must be kept safe and compensated fairly for the dangerous and vital work they do.”
The New England Teamsters National Pipeline Industry Training reflects the union’s ongoing commitment to workforce development and ensuring members succeed in evolving industries.
