🚨 STRIKE ALERT: HERTZ HURTS! 🚨
At 4 AM, @Teamsters at Hertz walked off the job over unfair labor practices. @Hertz disrespects workers—we’re fighting back!
📢 Stand with us: Join the picket line & spread the word! #Teamsters#Strike@WPTV@CBS12
Social Security benefits for millions of public sector workers and retirees, including Teamsters, will soon be restored thanks to a Senate vote on the Social Security Fairness Act.
The Teamsters Union represents more than 200,000 public sector workers and have been part of this fight for over a decade.
Thanks to significant bipartisan support in Congress, firefighters, teachers, law enforcement and other public sector workers will no longer be unfairly penalized in retirement for simply receiving a pension.
UNFI WORKERS IN FLORIDA JOIN TEAMSTERS LOCAL 769
For the second time in under two weeks, United Natural Foods, Inc. (UNFI) workers in Florida have voted unanimously to join the #Teamsters Union. The 74 drivers are seeking to address years of concerns at the natural food distributor over wages, benefits, and working conditions.
“We just won 74 to nothing, and I feel like we’re unstoppable. Justice has been served. I can’t wait to negotiate our Teamsters contract,” said Laronn Houston, a UNFI driver in Pompano Beach who served on the worker-led organizing committee.
Despite facing an aggressive anti-union campaign by UNFI, Houston and his co-workers remained united and prevailed to secure representation with Teamsters Local 769 in Miami.
“We are proud of UNFI workers who have stood up and chosen unanimously to join Local 769. We look forward to negotiating improvements in the workplace for our newest members,” said Josh Zivalich, President of Local 769 and Teamsters Joint Council 75. “This is a proud day for Local 769 as well as Joint Council 75.”
