???? Teamsters at Dairy Farmers of America Hold Practice Pickets Nationwide ????



Teamsters held practice pickets at Dairy Farmers of America (DFA) facilities in Englewood, Colo.; Milwaukee, Salt Lake City, and throughout Southern California to demand that the largest dairy co-operative in North America come to terms on 19 collective bargaining agreements set to expire May 5.



DFA Teamsters are demanding higher wages, improved health care and retirement benefits, protections against job loss caused by automation, and a common expiration date for about 2,000 workers covered by the contracts. After May 5, the Teamsters Union can immediately call for a work stoppage at any one of the 35 DFA locations still in bargaining.



“DFA supplies nearly one-third of all milk in this country. This employer has more than enough resources to reach fair agreements,” said Jesse Case, Director of the Teamsters Food Processing Division. “It’s in the best interest of the co-op to settle these agreements quickly.”
