(ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI) – More than 300 Bus Workers in Missouri have voted to join Teamsters Local 610.

The Workers organized to demand fair pay, improved working conditions and a powerful voice on the job, Union Officials said.

“We are so happy and proud to welcome our newest Members to the Teamsters,” Teamsters Local 610 Secretary-Treasurer Daniel Thacker said. “These Workers chose to come together and fight for a better future that includes fair wages, better benefits and respect on the job. We are ready to fight for a strong Teamsters contract for the group.”

The Workers beat back an aggressive Union-Busting Campaign from Zum and persevered in their fight to form a Union.

Now, they will have the backing of the Teamsters in the fight for a fair and timely first contract.

“Becoming Teamsters means we have the support we deserve and the ability to negotiate a contract we have earned,” said Thane Wright, a Bus Worker and Local 610 Member. “We love this community and our work is essential to its success. We are ready to finally feel like that is appreciated.”
