Fleet Mechanics at Sysco in West Palm Beach Win BIG!

On Thursday August 18, 2016 Fleet Mechanics at the West Palm Beach Florida Sysco Foods facility voted unanimously for Teamster representation. Their victory came less than 6 months after drivers at the same facility had voted to join Teamsters Local 769. In recent years, Sysco has been mistreating its workers nationwide.
