Teamsters at Albertsons in Dallas Vote Overwhelmingly to Authorize Strike



Over 90 drivers at Albertsons, represented by Teamsters Local 745, have voted by a 97 percent margin to authorize a strike in response to the company’s repeated refusal to offer a fair contract. Instead, Albertsons management is pushing to include contract language that would allow the use of unsafe, unregulated autonomous trucks — putting jobs, families, and public safety at risk.



In the face of Albertsons attempt to cut jobs, the workers are demanding the same fair wages, pension, and job protections that Teamsters at Albertsons locations across the country already receive.



The Teamsters represent hundreds of workers at Albertsons nationwide. Local 745’s strike authorization allows the union to call a work stoppage at any time, and picket lines could be extended across the country.
