On Saturday, May 14, 2022, Teamsters at Freshpoint in Pompano Beach, Florida, ratified a new 4-year contract which includes significant wage improvements, increased number of personal days, Martin Luther King Holiday, and improved discipline language.
Members at Freshpoint fought to join the Teamsters back in 2016, and this agreement is the second contract these workers will enjoy since demanding representation.
Teamsters Local 769 has grown accustomed to negotiating with Sysco, the parent company of Freshpoint since we represent nearly all Sysco employees within our Local Union’s jurisdiction. Freshpoint’s first contract was a hard-fought battle, and this agreement was no different. A month prior, these members held strong and rejected the company’s previous offer on the negotiating committee’s recommendation.
Recording Secretary Steve Myers had this to say, “These workers should be proud of what their efforts have accomplished. Employees across the country are fighting for Union representation, and this contract is a solid example of why.” Brother Myers was the chair of the negotiating committee which also included Local 769 Business Agents David Renshaw and Chuck Thome.
“We would like to thank all of the negotiating committee members, including Eddy Deronvil, Herrick Louis, Lazaro Munoz, and Jose Vasquez.”, continued Steve. “Your guidance and insight aided the committee in crafting strong language that better protects your brothers and sisters.”
