120 members of Teamsters Local 853 at Cargill Salt in Newark, Calif., have been forced to strike over the company’s unfair labor practices (ULPs), which include retaliating against a steward during contract negotiations.



Teamsters at Cargill Salt harvest, process, and package sea salt at the Newark facility — one of the only sea salt operations of its kind in North America. Teamsters oversee the entire production process from harvesting salt in evaporation ponds and turning it into finished products used for table salt, road de-icing, and other specialty uses.
