Critical Union Vote Sunday

Details

If the offer is rejected, a strike is expected.

“The company’s offer is absolutely punitive,” said Luke Farley, attorney and lead negotiator for Teamsters 175. “This company makes plenty of money off the backs of hard-working employees, and has not asserted it is losing money, yet proposes to take rights, pay, and benefits away from those same employees.”

The Teamsters and The Beverage Market have been in contract negotiations for weeks. The company’s proposal will be explained to the approximately 50 affected employees during the meeting Sunday, prior to the vote.

WHAT:               Teamsters Local 175 will take a vote on The Beverage Market’s concessionary proposals for a new contract.              

WHEN:              Sunday, May 3, 2026 at 9:30 a.m.

WHERE:            Teamsters Local 175, 267 Staunton Ave, South Charleston, WV 25303

WHY:                  The Union and the Company have been in contract negotiations for weeks. The Company is proposing numerous concessionary proposals despite no claim of losing money.
