I Have been working off and on as a Journeyman Teamster in the Convention Industry here in Las Vegas. I would like to remain in with the Union but take a break from Convention Industry schedule. I'm aware UPS is the largest company in the country who is a Union member. My related skills I worked for FedEx from 85'-2000 first as a CSA I then transferred to a nearby warehouse operation as a package handler. That led to a shuttle driver to ORD then a delivery/pickup route also as an MRY Ramp Agent.
