Stonewalled, bad faith, working against their own employees – This is why this new group of Teamsters is on Strike Against Westlake

Every once and a while, a Union sees a group that is so tight, so unified, that they are already acting like a Union, before they even vote. They trust each other, put their faith in each other, and believe in a better future together, with the friends and coworkers they spend their days with.

This is the story of this incredible group of 260 members at Westlake Royal Stone Solutions located at 350 Tower Rd, American Canyon, CA 94503.

So when this group of workers decided that forced overtime, unsafe working conditions, extremely poor healthcare, and low wages were not going to secure the livelihoods and future of their friends and coworkers, they struck out to Unionize, and in an overwhelming vote, they did.

This community of workers has made Westlake the successful business that it is. So they are entitled to the better pay, benefits, and job protections that are commensurate with their contributions.

The strike

After eight months of negotiations, drawn out by Westlake Royal Stone Solution’s stonewalling and acting in bad faith, these members have exhausted every possible solution, and have been forced to go on strike.

So we are asking ALL of the Teamsters in the Bay Area to help these new members secure their future by spreading the word on Westlake and walking the picket line and supporting them. Let’s support these members and show our Bay Area communities that when Teamsters Strike, we have each other’s backs.
