Drivers and warehouse workers at Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits facilities throughout Louisiana voted overwhelmingly to become Teamsters. The 183 workers, represented by Teamsters Locals 270 and 568, work at facilities in Geismar, Kenner, Lafayette, Shreveport, and Monroe.



With the addition of these five new facilities, the Teamsters have organized 68 Southern Glazer’s locations nationwide.



“Joining the Teamsters gives us a voice so we can fight for what we deserve,” said Christopher Northern, a member of Local 270 and fulfillment associate at the Geismar facility. “We are excited to bargain a strong contract that will provide a better quality of life for our families.”
