Teamsters? I don't think so. The Ironworkers International, my local, goes back to 1896, and I don't even know that it is the oldest. Regardless, it is older than the founding of the Teamsters Union. If you want to point to the fact that there were organized teamster locals that existed before the International, that still only brings you back to the 1880's from what I saw online. My union local, United Derrickmen and Riggers, a present day member of the Ironworkers International, received their charter from the Ironworkers in the 1910's but was organized in the 1850's; we may have been the only organized labor on the Brooklyn Bridge. Even then, there may be older locals then mine that have absorbed into still existing unions, depending on how you want to answer this question. The stonecutters have some sort of ancient union, but they are so small I don't even know if they could really qualify. So however you want to ultimately qualify this, I definitely know it's not the Teamsters.
