Teamsters Local - 340

Congratulations Teamsters Local 340 brothers Alex, Andrew and Jimmy from Kittery Public Works for finishing so well in the Maine York County Snow Plow Rodeo!

Good luck in June to all of you when you participiate in the Highway Congress and State Championship Snowplow Roadeo at the Skowhegan Fairgrounds in Skowhegan, Maine.

This week is kind of a big deal because it's: ! And we're kicking it off right with some awesome news. 🚜

Last Friday, members of the Public Works team joined teams from Town of Kennebunk, Maine and City of Sanford, Maine for the York County Snow Plow Rodeo at the Kittery Trading Post.

The rodeo is an exciting event that features an obstacle course and gives Public Works employees an opportunity to put their snowplow skills to the test alongside neighboring communities for a bit of fun and friendly competition.

We're excited to share that 's own Alex and Andrew (far right in photo) placed 2nd in the team competition, their very first time competing! Whaaaaaaaat?! 🤩 What's even more exciting is that Alex and Andrew will go on to compete in the Highway Congress Snow Plow Rodeo in June for a chance to move on to the national event in Colorado, later this year. 🏆

We'd also like to give a HUGE shoutout to Jimmy Nightingale whose snowplow skills earned him first place in the individual portion of the event. 💪

Thanks to everyone who participated and helped organize this event!

This past weekend Teamsters Local 340 hosted Steward Training with President Brett Miller and Associate Director Dennis Hower of the IBT Training & Grants Department.

This program held in South Portland & Presque Isle brought together Local 340 Stewards from across the state for training and presentations.

Thank you to all who attended!
