    Chicago Teamsters at Marano Company contract fight

    Chicago Grocery Teamsters Face Firing and Retaliation for Exercising Their Rights
    https://labornotes.org
    Workers couldn’t wear a sticker or button, because what if it fell into the fruits and vegetables they packaged for the Anthony Marano Company, a major distributor of produce in Chicago and the greater Midwest for restaurants and grocery chains including Aldi’s, Sysco, and Pete’s Fresh Market? They couldn’t do a red T-shirt day; the temperatures are frigid in the warehouse, and workers must cover themselves in layers to keep warm. But they are allowed to wear hats over their hairnets. Luckily, there was a crafty person on the organizing team.

      Yes! Any sign of unity really causes the company concern ! We all used to put on band aids on our hands , nothing they can do ! They divide us at every opportunity we need to show them we can unify !

          Teamsters still have significant density in grocery and related food distribution sectors. We really need a plan to leverage that density into more organizing, more contracts, more union power in an essential industry.
