Teamsters union working at Mondelez authorize strike

Members of Teamsters Local 104 working at Mondelez have unanimously authorized a strike, the union announced in a statement. The 100% strike authorization vote “is a direct result of the company’s unacceptable contract offer, management’s use of aggressive intimidation tactics, and greedy executives’ refusal to bargain in good faith,” the Teamsters added. Teamsters Local 104 represents workers throughout Arizona. “This is a fight Mondelez will lose,” said Jeff Padellaro, Director of the Teamsters Brewery, Bakery, and Soft Drink Conference. “Our members at Mondelez are united, and we are ready to stand shoulder to shoulder until we secure the fair contract we deserve. These workers are not asking for the moon-just for what they rightfully deserve.”
