TEAMSTERS ACHIEVE WALL-TO-WALL REPRESENTATION AT VISTAR OAKLAND FACILITY



37 warehouse workers at VISTAR, a subsidiary of Performance Food Group (PFG), have voted to join Teamsters Local 853. They join 30 drivers who became Teamsters in 2025, securing wall-to-wall representation. Despite VISTAR spending more than $146,000 on an aggressive union-busting campaign, workers remained united to join North America’s strongest union.



“There was a noticeable difference after the drivers organized,” said Michael Townsend, a warehouse worker at VISTAR and new member of Local 853. “We saw them stand together and fight for a strong first contract. That inspired us to do the same. Now it’s our turn to have a voice on the job and the protections that come with a Teamster contract.”
