Over 130 Packaging Corporation of America (PCA) workers in Bedford Park, Ill., have voted for union representation with Teamsters Local 781.



Headquartered in Lake Forest, Ill., under 50 miles from the Bedford Park facility, PCA is one of the largest producers of containerboard and packaging in North America. The company is worth nearly $20 billion, and its workers generated roughly $9 billion in revenue last year.



“We joined the Teamsters because we knew no other union could deliver the protections we’ve long needed. We saw other graphics workers win strong contracts by becoming the Teamsters, and we wanted the same,” said Carlos Maldonado, a PCA worker and new member of Local 781.
