The goal of the Teamsters National Black Caucus (TNBC) is:

To uphold the principles of the Teamsters movement to improve the workplace conditions    and the quality of life for workers and their families.

To increase the opportunity for all Teamsters to serve in Leadership capacities throughout    the International Brotherhood of Teamsters and its affiliates.

To unite African Americans and other workers of color, along with other persons of good    will for promoting cultural, civic, legislative, political,educational, fraternal, charitable,    welfare, social and other activities which further diversity and inclusion.

To assist financially, morally or otherwise, other organizations with similar purposes and    objectives.

To engage in various activities to promote the interest of this organization and its      members in the community and in the nation.

In order to provide and execute both an agenda and programs that will assist TNBC chapters and progressive allies within the International Brotherhood of Teamsters and its affiliates, the following approaches will help guide our actions:

Organizing and educating the unorganized,
Being tender with the young,
Compassionate with the aged,
Sympathetic with the striving, and
Tolerant of the weak and strong.
