John Tibbetts, Local 804 (Retired)

Ron Carey the President, the leader. He was respected by friend and foe alike. When Teamsters throughout the country realized that you were a Local 804 member, they would always ask about the legend “RON CAREY.” Yes, he was a legend—he led by example with honesty and integrity, and he always put the members first. I, like many others, am proud to have been a member of Local 804 and a friend of Ronnie. Local 804 will always be “The Home of Ron Carey.”

John Tibbetts served as Local 804’s UPS Contract Campaign Coordinator in 1997.
