📢 #Strike Alert #Teamsters Local 703 warehouse workers went on strike at Sysco Corporation in Des Plaines, IL beginning Monday, August 30 at 2:00 a.m. over the company’s refusal to bargain in good faith and treat workers with the dignity and respect they deserve. Workers at the Des Plaines site have been working without a contract since February 2020. After the COVID-19 pandemic began, a temporary extension was agreed upon to keep the food supply chain moving. Negotiations for a new contract began in January 2021, but almost no progress has been made due to the unwillingness of the employer to bargain in good faith. Teamster warehouse workers and drivers working out of the Des Plaines site are the main food service providers to high volume customers, such as school districts, medical facilities, and government organizations around Chicago. “One year ago, Sysco’s CEO referred to his employees as ‘heroes’, as the men and women who helped keep America fed. Now they won’t even offer a fair wage increase. These are the essential workers that kept hospitals and schoolchildren fed throughout the pandemic’s darkest days,” said Teamsters Local 703 Vice President Pat Bruno. “It’s been months of trying, but we’ve gotten nowhere because Sysco is giving us the run-around whenever we submit a proposal. Our hardworking Teamsters Local 703 members are tired of being disrespected, and that’s why they’re walking the picket line.” Teamsters Local 703 members voted to authorize the strike with over 99 percent approval. In addition, 200 Teamsters Local 710 members working as drivers for Sysco that use the Des Plaines facility are standing strong with their Teamster brothers and sisters and honoring the picket line as well. Stay strong, brothers and sisters ✊✊ #1u #unionstrong💪

🙌 VICTORY! Congratulations to 245 production, sanitation, warehouse and maintenance workers employed by Foster Farms in California who have ratified their latest contract with #Teamsters Local 630. “These brave women and men never stopped working during the pandemic to keep Californians fed, and now they have a collective bargaining agreement that reflects the immeasurable value they bring to their communities as essential workers,” said Lou Villalvazo, @teamsterslocal630 Secretary-Treasurer. “This victory illustrates that when workers come together as Teamsters and refuse to bow down to fear in the face of adversity, they can ensure that their employers give them the strong wages and good benefits they deserve.” The agreement comes after the workers, who are predominantly Black and Latina women, engaged in a series of actions targeting the company. Initially, Foster Farms attempted to force its workers to accept a health care plan that would increase medical costs by thousands of dollars every year and cover a significant percentage of medical visits frequently utilized by women with families out of pocket. These include labor and delivery, emergency room visits, and mental health services. After the workers engaged in a practice picket at the Compton facility and reached out to customers at grocery stores that carry Foster Farms products, the company returned to the table and negotiated a deal amenable to all sides – one that not only included good medical benefits, but also substantial wage increases. Leticia Rosales is a production worker at the Foster Farms Compton Facility who has been with the company for 36 years. She served on the bargaining committee. “We have never seen a contract as good as the one we’ve seen this time around,” Rosales said. “We’re proud to be part of this movement of unity and solidarity amongst workers to hold Foster Farms accountable so they give us respect and dignity. I’ve never been prouder to be a member of Local 630.” #1u #unionstrong💪

Hilton is trying to take advantage of the pandemic by cutting services like automatic daily housekeeping. The hotel chain's plan to end automatic daily housekeeping would slash jobs for housekeepers. We can't let that happen. That's why #Teamsters are joining forces with housekeepers and their union, @unitehere, to tell Hilton Hotels that rooms should be cleaned every day. Let's support our union brothers and sisters in the hotel industry - add your name at 𝗶𝗯𝘁.𝗶𝗼/𝗨𝗡𝗜𝗧𝗘-𝗛𝗘𝗥𝗘-𝘀𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 Solidarity! ✊ #1u #unionstrong
