Jason Ide

I was elected to this position in 2010 after working as a member in the Local for six years. Elected at age twenty-eight, I am one of the youngest principal officers in the Teamsters Union. During those six years, I worked as Sotheby's auction house as an art mover and served as alternate steward and on the Union's bargaining committee. As a member of the bargaining committee, I organized the first contract campaign at Sotheby's.

I moved art and antiques for the auction house. I was also an active members of Teamsters Local 814, alternate steward and was elected to the bargaining committee.

As a member of Students Organizing for Labor Equality (SOLE), I organized strike support for labor disputes on campus. During a strike of the Lecturers Union (LEO), I organized over 500 students to walk the picket line in support of their demands for fair wages and benefits.
