Sysco Teamsters Strike Ends with Triumphant Deal Signing.

A strike by Teamsters members at a Sysco facility in Louisville, Kentucky, ended over the weekend with the signing of the first-ever contract between the members of Local 89 and the food distribution giant. The union said delivery drivers will see an immediate increase in their pay of $4.35, and shuttle drivers’ pay would be increased by $5.35 to “catch up” with the delivery drivers. Both groups would then see another increase of $3.50 per hour by the end of the contract, which the union said would last five years. The total would average a “staggering” 34.5% increase in pay over the life of the contract, the union said.
