Teamsters at US Foods in Minneapolis Ratify Lucrative New Contract



More than 430 Teamsters at US Foods in Minneapolis have overwhelmingly ratified a new four-year collective bargaining agreement, which secures significant gains for warehouse workers, drivers, and mechanics. The new Teamsters contract includes an immediate 20.4 percent wage increase in the first year and a total 33 percent wage increase over the life of the agreement. It also features higher pension contributions, protections against automation, an extra week of paid vacation, and new safety provisions.



“This is the strongest agreement we’ve ever secured at this facility,” said Noah Mueller, a warehouse worker at US Foods and Local 120 shop steward. “We held the company’s feet to the fire, and the gains in this contract will directly improve our lives and our families’ future.”
