Following a credible strike threat at the largest beef processing plant in the U.S., Teamsters Local 577 members at Tyson Foods in Amarillo, Texas, voted overwhelmingly to ratify a new four-year collective bargaining agreement that raises wages and expands benefits. The Teamsters contract includes massive improvements, including 32 percent wage increases, more paid time off, and expanded retirement benefits.



“We’re the top plant there is, and the people who work here are some of the hardest workers there are. We deserve the best contract,” said Connie Hernandez, a member of the Tyson Teamsters Negotiating Committee. “We finally got it, and that makes me proud to be a Teamster.”
