OPEN KITCHEN TEAMSTERS WIN STRIKE IN CHICAGO 🐴💪



Teamsters at Open Kitchens in Chicago have successfully concluded a six-week strike and overwhelmingly ratified their first Teamsters contract. The three-year agreement covers 40 drivers and helpers represented by Teamsters Local 703 and delivers a 24 percent wage increase, affordable health care, and protections against subcontracting.



Workers were forced onto the picket line over Open Kitchens’ unfair labor practices and the company’s failure to bargain in a timely manner. Along with significant economic improvements, the Teamsters agreement provides just cause protections, establishes seniority rights, and gives workers a real voice backed by legally enforceable rights on the job.
