It is with great sadness to share the recent news we have received informing us of the passing of Teamsters Local 200 Brother Duane Kopecky of YRC. Duane’s history at Local 200 begins with his Initiation Date of February 28, 1979, with Duane working to just recently. When there is talk about leaders within Teamsters Local 200, Duane fits that category without question. His approach was absolutely based on the working man’s needs and the results he reached were to support working families.  His role as a Union Steward served many with his vision and devotion.   

We will miss Duane as he was the model of a Union Brother.
