Drivers at Sysco Western Minnesota, represented by Teamsters Local 120, have unanimously authorized a strike if the food service giant fails to deliver an acceptable collective bargaining agreement. Teamsters are demanding a contract with wages, benefits, and working conditions that meet or exceed the standards secured by thousands of Sysco Teamsters nationwide. The current agreement expires on May 17.



Sysco is one of the largest and most profitable food service providers in the United States. In 2025, the company posted net profits of $1.8 billion. Teamsters at Sysco Western Minnesota are fighting for higher wages, stronger retirement benefits, and affordable health care. If an agreement is not reached before the contract expires, workers are prepared to take action.



“Our members are fed up and ready to strike if Sysco refuses to respect the workers who make this company’s profits possible,” said Tom Erickson, President of Local 120 and Director of the Teamsters Warehouse Division. “Across the country, Sysco Teamsters are raising standards and winning strong contracts. This company can absolutely afford to meet our demands, and management needs to understand these workers are prepared to fight for every dollar.”
