John Guerra Jr. (Secretary Treasurer)

 I started out my (36) thirty-six years as a Teamster in 1967. I belonged to Local 688, at Biederman Furniture Co. In January of 1974, I went to National Auto Supply and transferred to Local 618 in which I became shop steward. In 1982 I was elected by the membership to the position of Recording Secretary, Vice President in 1985 and President in 1993. In October of 2001 I was elected as Principal Officer (Secretary Treasurer) of Local 618. I was appointed and currently serve as a Trustee for the Local 618 Health and Welfare Fund. In January of 2002 I was elected as Recording Secretary to Teamsters Joint Council 13 Executive Board. In 2003 I was appointed as Vice President and in November of 2004 was appointed as Secretary Treasurer of Joint Council 13. IM also a Trustee on the UAA (United Automotive Association Pension Fund) and also a Trustee on the Teamster Medicare Trust Fund. In 2004 I was appointed by the IBT to be a committee person for the Industrial Trade Division.

Since 1982 I have serviced the garage and airport membership and have participated in many organizing campaigns. I'm very proud of my Executive Board and all of the experience and knowledge they have as the Officers of Local 618. Local 618 has one of the most experienced and dedicated staff that there is in St. Louis. Contact me or visit the office with your concerns when you have a chance. I would like to hear from you!
