Workers with the Osceola School District in Florida resoundingly elected to keep their membership with Teamsters Local 385. Nearly 1,400 custodial, food service, transportation, and maintenance workers will continue to receive Teamsters protection.



The Local 385 members at Osceola School District were required to recommit to union membership due to Florida’s newly passed law, SB 256. The anti-worker measure is meant to curb union membership, but it has once again failed to do so. Teamsters Local 769 also recently beat back SB 256 with strong support in union recertification elections at the City of Vero Beach, Florida City, City of Coral Gables, Monroe County Board of County Commissioners, and St. Lucie County Board of Commissioners.



“I can’t imagine doing my job without a union,” said Carol Morales, a Teamster at Osceola School District. “Personally, the Teamsters have helped me so much and without them, our work would be a nightmare. I will vote for the union again and again for years to come.”
