Teamsters in Tampa and Jacksonville have ratified the Florida Driver’s Agreement, a collective bargaining agreement covering 49 delivery drivers at Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits. Members of Teamsters Local 79 and Teamsters Local 947 worked together to negotiate the four-year agreement.



Highlights of the agreement include a new Teamsters health plan, larger pension benefits, wage increases, and improved overtime pay. The members also saw significant improvements to paid leave.



“I am proud of this negotiating committee for staying strong at the table to secure this excellent agreement,” said Jeff Padellaro, Director of the Teamsters Brewery, Bakery, and Soft Drink Conference. “Their dedication and solidarity showed the power of the Teamsters in action. We fought hard to win this contract. It will now set the standard for the industry throughout the state.”
