(Port Huron, MI) – On November 22, 245 workers at Port Huron Molded Products won their struggle for a voice at work after voting 106-97 in favor of joining Local 339 in Port Huron, Michigan.

“These workers haven’t had a decent raise in wages or insurance for over six years,” said Jim Parrinello, a Joint Council 43 organizer that assisted Local 339 in the campaign. “They’re ecstatic to be Teamsters, they’re an excellent group.”

The bargaining unit includes machine operators, sorters, packagers and shipping and receiving clerks.

Founded in 1903, The Teamsters Union represents more than 1.4 million hardworking men and women throughout the United States and Canada.
