Congratulations to cheese processing and manufacturing workers at the Dairy Farmers of America (DFA) plant in New Wilmington, Pennsylvania who have voted 125-9 to ratify their first collective bargaining agreement with Teamsters Local 261!
“These workers fought hard for a good contract, and because of that, they secured the strong wages and benefits that other DFA Teamsters across the country have been enjoying for years,” said Peter Finn, Teamsters Western Region International Vice President and Food Processing Division Director.
Improvements in the contract include a minimum of four hours of pay per shift, 17 percent wage increases over the lifetime of the three-year agreement, more sick days, an increased profit-share bonus if the plant does well, more overtime, better job security, and seniority rights. Perhaps most notably, the workers joined a Teamsters health care plan with low out-of-pocket costs and quality, comprehensive coverage.
