A group of 30 sanitation workers at Redrock Environmental Group in Chowchilla, Calif., has voted to join Teamsters Local 431. They will now gain the backing of North America’s strongest union and fight together for a contract that delivers higher wages, strong health care benefits, and safety.



The workers provide sanitation services for thousands of residential and commercial customers and operate the Fairmead Landfill and the North Fork Transfer Station. This group is the first at Redrock Environmental to organize with the Teamsters.



“This is an important victory that will have a real impact for me and my co-workers,” said Cam Vaughn, Redrock Environmental driver. “Our line of work is dangerous and puts us at serious risk. Now that we’re Teamsters we will fight for a strong first contract with better safety standards, pay, and health benefits.”
