(ATLANTA, GEORGIA) – More than 100 Pepsi-Cola Drivers employed at facilities in Atlanta and Lithonia, Georgia have voted overwhelmingly to join Teamsters Local 528.

The Drivers organized for respect on the job, a unified voice and wage and benefit improvements, Teamster Officials said.

“These Drivers remained united throughout the entire campaign and won, despite their employer’s Union-Busting efforts,” said Kip Cortez, Local 528 Business Agent.

This group beat back an aggressive Union-Busting Campaign put on by Pepsi-Cola, who brought in 15 human resources representatives in an attempt to prevent the Workers from organizing.

This win comes on the heels of a successful contract campaign for Local 528 with Keurig Dr. Pepper Merchandisers.

“We joined the Teamsters because we were mistreated, underpaid and needed to get rid of favoritism in the workplace. We are ready to now fight for a fair first contract,” said Kamian Vaughn, a new Teamster and a 13-year Driver with Pepsi-Cola.

Local 528 represents thousands of Members across Georgia.
