Warehouse Workers Join Stericycle Drivers
Already Represented by Local 251
WOONSOCKET, R.I., April 16,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Warehouse workers at Stericycle
have voted unanimously to join Teamsters Local 251. These workers
join Teamsters drivers at the same facility who ratified their
first collective bargaining agreement in March 2022.
"We organized with the Teamsters because we deserve the same pay
and benefits as the drivers," said Alain
Monteiro, a warehouse worker and new member of Local 251.
"We offload almost 40 trucks a day and work very hard. By joining
the union, we will enjoy the protections guaranteed by a Teamsters
contract."
"We are excited to negotiate these workers into the existing
drivers' contract, which will provide them with the same benefits
and protections currently enjoyed by their co-workers," said
Matthew Taibi, Secretary-Treasurer
of Local 251 and Teamsters Eastern Region International Vice
President. "I want to congratulate our new members for voting
unanimously to join Local 251 and welcome them to our local
union."
Warehouse workers at Stericycle's Woonsocket facility process and dispose of
hazardous medical waste.

variety of industries throughout Rhode
Island and southeastern Massachusetts. For more information, visit
