DO NOT Sign the Ballot or mark it in any way other than your vote.
You will NOT pay any initiation fees to join the union.
You will NOT pay union dues until your group has a contract with US Foods.
Vice President Teamsters Local 104 in Arizona, who represents US Foods drivers sets the record straight on their last contract with US Foods.
Their last contract got a $3.35 raise upfront with $1 raises the subsequent 3 years along with free Teamsters health insurance for members and their families and Teamster Pension Fund. That is the power of bargaining as a unit, and not just taking what the employer offers.
If you have any questions, give Teamsters 853 Vice President Ray Torres a call at 661-903-2980.
