(BALTIMORE, MARYLAND) – Drivers at Up To Date Laundry in Baltimore have voted unanimously to join Teamsters Local 355.

Up To Date Laundry is one of the largest health care laundries on the East Coast, processing 70 million pounds of linen each year.

Local 355 Members deliver rental and customer-owned linens to hospitals throughout the Mid-Atlantic region.

“We knew we were not getting a fair shake, so we reached out to the Teamsters for assistance,” said Jamon Conway, a 13-year veteran Driver at Up To Date Laundry. “We all like our jobs, but we have not been receiving the respect from management that we deserve.”

Local 355 President Mark Garey said: “When I first met with Up To Date Laundry Drivers, they were working sixty to sixty-five hours a week and never received a penny of overtime.  This is unconscionable in (2024).  These new Members join workers at Ryder Transportation and U.S. Foods who also recently organized with Local (355) to gain the respect that they deserve on the job.”

Based in Maryland, Local 355 represents nearly 6,000 Members who are employed in the Public and Private Sectors in the States of Maryland, Virginia and Delaware.
