Ryder Drivers At Three Locations In California Join Teamsters Union

Drivers with Ryder Integrated Logistics at three California locations have voted to join the Teamsters Union, totaling 105 workers.

The locations included Orange, Riverside and Fontana, Calif. At issue were wages and health insurance costs. Teamsters Local 495 in West Covina, Calif., represents about 350 Ryder mechanics throughout Southern California and Las Vegas, and has represented them for 40 years.

Patrick Kelly, Secretary-Treasurer of Local 952, welcomed the drivers to the Teamsters, noting a recent surge in organizing.

Founded in 1903, the Teamsters Union represents 1.4 million men and women throughout the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico.
