Randy Korgan
Secretary-Treasurer, Teamsters Local 1932
Randy is secretary-treasurer of Teamsters Local 1932 in San Bernardino, Calif. and the National Director on Amazon for the International Brotherhood of Teamsters. His career in the Labor Movement began in 1993 when he started volunteering on organizing drives. His passion for worker justice was cemented as a labor advocate and he has helped thousands of workers join a union. He has served as an Organizer, Director of Organizing, Business Representative, Coordinator, International Representative, International Trustee of District Council 2 and Teamsters Local 630, Co-Chair for Southwest Food Industry Teamster Council, Personal Representative to the General President, and Director of Organizing for Teamsters Joint Council 42. One of his fondest moments, which underscores his deep respect for the Civil Rights Movement, was registering more than 700 people to vote in less than eight hours. This resulted in nearly 500 votes by mail that made the difference in a highly contested congressional election.
