CPC Logistics drivers in Joliet, Ill., have voted to unionize with Teamsters Local 179.



The group of 42 workers transport products for major companies like John Deere, Procter & Gamble, and Walgreens. They are seeking higher wages, improved benefits, and protection from at-will employment.



“I chose to join the Teamsters because silence protects the system — solidarity changes it,” said Robert Morris, a CPC driver and proud new member of Local 179. “With the Teamsters behind us, we’re ready to fight for a fair agreement that guarantees us respect on the job.”
