DANIEL CARTMILL JOINS LOCAL 89 STAFF

Teamsters Local 89 is excited to welcome Daniel Cartmill as the newest edition to our union’s staff!

A Bowling Green native, Daniel first became a Teamster in 2000 when he began working at Fort Dearborn before becoming a member at Minority Auto Handling Specialists (MAHS) in 2014, where he eventually worked as a Class A CDL driver until being brought on our staff. In both of his Teamster jobs Daniel served as a union steward with a reputation for thorough knowledge of his contracts and has developed a strong fighting spirit by serving on six different negotiating committees during his twenty-three-year Teamsters career.

In addition to his excellent service as a steward, Daniel has a long history of volunteering to help his Local Union through organizing and political work, as well as aiding stewards at different shops in the Bowling Green area when needed. To further his knowledge of unionism he has attended to the Chicago area Labor Notes conference – the largest educational union conference in the United States, and he has participated in dozens of steward trainings and seminars.

Daniel will be bringing his talent and experience to our Local Union as our newest Business Agent, assigned to our Bowling Green jurisdiction and surrounding areas. He will be directly taking over several shops in the area, as well as assisting other Business Agents who represent members in the area attached to National Master Agreements such as UPS, Carhaul and Freight. In addition, Daniel will work alongside Local 89’s organizing department towards the goal of building up Teamsters strength and density in central and southern Kentucky.

President Thompson, Secretary-Treasurer Cooper and everyone at Teamsters Local 89 look forward to working with Daniel as the newest member of our staff and are excited to have a new Business Agent in Bowling Green!
