Nashville Workers Vote for Teamster Representation

Workers at Crystal Springs Water in Nashville claimed victory recently when they overwhelmingly voted for Teamster representation.

“The workers wanted respect on the job, and they will get that with a Teamster contract,” said David Mottern, President of Local 480 in Nashville. “This election was truly a team effort between the drivers and warehouse workers at Crystal Springs and the local union.”

“Our local union Secretary-Treasurer Lendon Grisham and our organizer Dudley Blankenship both did a great job helping these workers with their organizing campaign. Now, the next step is working on their first collective bargaining agreement.”

There are a total of 20 workers at Crystal Springs water in Nashville, a division of D.S. Water of America, Inc. These new members will be part of the Teamsters Brewery and Soft Drink Workers Conference.
