(DETROIT) – Warehouse workers at Sysco/SYGMA have voted to join Teamsters Local 337 in Detroit. SYGMA is a subsidiary of Sysco that supplies food and other goods to major chain restaurants. The group of 74 workers join a growing wave of organizing victories at Sysco nationwide.

“We endured eight weeks of intense union busting from a multibillion-dollar multinational mega-corporation,” said Andrew Wingate, a SYGMA worker in Detroit and a new member of Local 337. “The thousands of dollars this company spent to stop us from forming our union didn’t matter in the end. We stood strong, we won, and now we’re ready to fight for the first contract we deserve.”

Newly organized warehouse workers join drivers at the same Detroit facility who are already represented by Local 337. Despite Sysco’s aggressive and costly union-busting campaign, these workers remained determined to form their union.

“Sysco management attempted everything they could to prevent these workers from exercising their legally protected right to form a union, but the workers prevailed,” said Todd Lince, President of Local 337. “Our newest members are the backbone of this company, and we’re committed to negotiating a contract that reflects their hard work and dedication.”

1. Joining the union whose leader spoke at the republican hate

convention, and refused to endorse anyone for President, I hope they enjoy musk and trump.

There was only one person who walked the UAW picket, and one party that supported unions.

There really wasn’t any ambiguity.
