Members of Teamsters Local 170 and Local 633 at Bimbo Bakeries have ratified a new agreement by an overwhelming 90 percent. Earlier this month, the sales and warehouse workers authorized a strike after the company refused to offer area standards or real wage adjustments.



The new six-year Teamsters agreement includes pension improvements, wage increases, and reduced health care costs. The contract also offers strong job security protections.



“We were tired of management taking for granted the work we do that makes Bimbo so successful,” said Jason Morin, a shop steward at Bimbo Bakeries and member of Local 633. “We were ready to strike if needed and are proud that we have a secured a powerful new deal.”
