Workers Locked Out After Unanimously
Rejecting Employer's Contract Proposal
RICHMOND, Calif., May 23, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Teamsters Local 315 workers, allies, and political
leaders will rally outside of the Brenntag Pacific chemical plant
on Friday, May 24 to denounce
Brenntag's total disregard for worker safety as the lockout of
Teamsters continues.
Brenntag, one of the largest chemical distributors in the world
with profits of more than $4.3
billion in 2023, began their lockout of 18 Teamsters drivers
and warehouse workers on Tuesday morning, in clear violation of
their contractual agreement with workers. The 18 workers
represented by Local 315 have been in negotiations with Brenntag
for months since the expiration of their previous agreement on
January 31.
Brenntag violated the no-lockout clause and locked Teamsters out
following a unanimous vote by workers to reject Brenntag's most
recent substandard contract proposal.
