BREAKTHRU BEVERAGE TEAMSTERS WIN STRIKE 🐴💪



After nearly three months on the picket line, over 215 drivers and warehouse workers at Breakthru Beverage facilities in Cicero, Ill. and St. Louis have won their strike. The members of Teamsters Locals 600, 688, and 710 were forced into a work stoppage over the company’s numerous unfair labor practices (ULPs).



The Breakthru Beverage Teamsters contracts include wage increases, protections for sick leave, and a pathway to earn seniority. The agreements also include hard-fought protection of contract rights, such as the lawful right to not cross or work behind a Teamsters picket line at their respective locations.



Over 430 Teamsters nationwide exercised their individual and legal right to refuse to cross the striking workers’ extended picket line in a show of support for their brothers and sisters.
