Workers at NexGen Building Supply Join Local 200, Secure First Contract

Teamsters Local 200 announced this week that workers at NexGen Building Supply in Milwaukee, Wisconsin voted unanimously to join the union.

NexGen, one of the last non-union wall board supply companies in the Milwaukee area, agreed to a four-year contract that included excellent gains in health care and retirement benefits. The agreement eliminated any co-pays for health care and enrolled the workers in the Teamsters 401(k) plan. The total value between wages and benefits was $9 higher than what the workers earned prior to the new agreement taking effect.

“This is a great group of workers and we are happy to welcome them into our union,” said Tom Benvenuto, Local 200 Business Agent. “They remained strong throughout the process and voted unanimously for representation and for the new agreement.”
