Chuck Whobrey President of Teamsters Local 215 Have served the Membership With Class, Dignity, And Honor

Dear CCO Editor

The recent announcement of the retirement of Chuck Whobrey as President of Teamsters Local 215 takes me back to when he first became the President. An article appeared on December 13, 1992, in the Evansville Courier, profiling Chuck as the new President of Teamsters Local 215. When you review that article and you consider his career since that time, he is a person who never wandered from his path as a strong and forceful labor leader in our community. Chuck’s influence has been one of a very positive influence upon our community. He helped create many different forces for change in the betterment of the working folks in our community, who he has represented and even those who he did not represent have benefited from his leadership and courage. He has made possible better health benefits for many individuals who never would have seen them but for his leadership and negotiating savvy.

He was instrumental in creating a scholarship fund to help individuals, who are without all of the necessary financial means, to provide a higher education for their children with an additional source of funds to do so.

Chuck has always stood up for his members and for the importance of improving the conditions of the working men and women in our area of the state. While Chuck’s influence will continue, his presence will be dearly missed missed

Sincerely,

BERGER & BERGER

  1. What a great article. I had the privilege of working with Chuck and the Scholarship Program that he created will live on. It has assisted and will keep on assisting students whose parents are Teamsters. Enjoy your retirement Chuck you earned it.
