After immense pressure and picket-line extensions from workers nationwide, Teamsters Local 705 has secured a strong tentative agreement for US Foods drivers in Bensenville, Ill. The new five-year contract offer includes significant wage increases and improvements to health care, pension, and safety for more than 130 drivers at the company. “US Foods saw what they were up against and caved,” said Teamsters General President Sean M. O’Brien. “Any company mistreating workers will face the full force of this union. Our momentum is unstoppable. We will always do whatever it takes to safeguard our members and strike any company that attempts to undermine their rights. US Foods will now think twice next time they want to play games in negotiations with the Teamsters.” Teamsters
