https://union-store.com/teamsters213/ Local 213 instituted it's own dispatch in 1958.

A charter for jurisdiction in "Building Material, Construction and Fuel Truck Drivers"
was issued in January 1946 and Teamsters Local 213 was created with
Custer Solem as Local 213's first elected secretary-treasurer and principal
officer. The 1950's saw the start of huge growth in our province and our
construction members were involved in many large projects. Work in
road building, pipleine and

ready mix expanded through the next
several years. Merging with Local 181 in 1972 and Local 351 in 1983 expanded our
membership and the industries we represented. Today, Local 213
represents members in hundreds of diverse fields. From the begining, Local 213 has been driven by the goal to better
the lives of our members on and off the job. Local 213's Health & Welfare Plan
and Pension Plan, initiated many years ago, still provides excellent
benefits for our members today. Our training programs have ranged from construction warehousemen
training in the late 1960's to our online courses, heavy equipment
training and our seminars for our shop stewards.
