A Huge Victory for MV Transportation Workers

A Huge Victory for MV Transportation Workers

December 27, 2007

Teamsters at Local 287 approved a strong three-year contact with MV Transportation, Inc. in Santa Clara County, California. The workers voted 220-63 to ratify the agreement. There are 325 members in the bargaining unit who provide services to disabled, mentally challenged and elderly people.

“Not only was the vote a huge victory, but we did get the employees a $1 wage increase, future wage increases thereafter, and got them into the Western Conference of Teamsters Pension Plan,” said Bob Blanchet, President of Local 287 in San Jose.
