Clerks in California Break New Ground at Company
October 4, 2007
Office clerical workers at USF Reddaway in Compton, California are now Teamsters after the company recognized the workers through a card-check agreement, the latest victory in the union’s card-check campaign throughout the West.
The card-check agreement enabling this latest victory was included in a contract that was ratified in August by workers at Reddaway terminals in California, Arizona and New Mexico. The contract was ratified 216-13 and covers about 400 workers.
In the latest victory, the 11 clerical workers in Compton are now Teamsters and will be covered by the same contract that was ratified by the larger group of workers. The Compton workers joined Local 63 in Covina, California.
“These workers become the first unionized clerks at USF Reddaway, and we look forward to providing them with excellent representation,” said Randy Cammack, Secretary-Treasurer of Local 63.
The company recognized the clerks on September 27.
