Truck drivers at the Tricont Trucking Company in Columbus, Ohio, joined UFCW Local 1059 on Sept. 10.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

The 12 truck drivers, who deliver refrigerated products for Del Monte Foods, joined UFCW Local 1059 because they wanted stronger workplace protections and a more stable work environment, and cited shifting company policies as a major concern. In-person meetings and conversations helped fuel the organizing campaign, which culminated in the successful unionization effort.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

The truck drivers are looking forward to negotiating a first union contract that brings more transparency, fairness and security to their jobs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
