Workers at Core-Mark, a subsidiary of Performance Food Group (PFG), have voted overwhelmingly to join Teamsters Local 952. The 70 drivers in Orange, Calif., are seeking higher wages, stronger benefits, and safer working conditions.



Core-Mark is the largest wholesale distributor to convenience stores in North America. PFG acquired the company in 2021 for $2.5 billion. The company delivers fresh, chilled, and frozen products to thousands of stores nationwide. The Teamsters represent more than 2,000 workers across PFG and its subsidiaries.



“We joined the Teamsters because we needed a real voice on the job,” said Michael Cantewell, a driver at Core-Mark and new member of Local 952. “Without a union, management treated us like numbers. Now we’re unified and ready to secure a first contract that puts our rights in writing and protects every one of us.”
