Protecting Sysco & US Foods Workers Facebook
Teamsters struck the US Foods warehouse in Corona, California, above, on
May 2, accusing the second-largest U.S. institutional food provider of
violating their labor rights. They extended their picket lines to 10
other US Foods locations in southern California and Phoenix, Arizona,
which were honored by fellow Teamsters. More than 800 workers are not
working because of the dispute. Nearly 200 Teamsters also struck US
Foods in Severn, Maryland, April 27, where the company plans to close
its facility in June. They’ve sent pickets to shut down the company in
Cleveland and Buffalo, New York.
