136 Real Alloy workers in Louisville, Ky., have voted to join Teamsters Local 89.



These workers convert aluminum scrap metal into recyclable products that are used in other industries. They wanted to unionize with Local 89 so they could fight for a Teamsters contract that guarantees them strong representation at work, fair wages and benefits, and job security.



“We’re very happy to have this new group of workers join our union,” said Avral Thompson, Teamsters Central Region International Vice President and President of Local 89. “We’re going to do everything we can to help these folks win a strong first Teamsters contract that will not only change their lives but also their entire community by raising the area standards.”
