(LITHONIA, GEORGIA) - Nearly 100 Drivers employed at Temco Logistics, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Home Depot, have voted to join Teamsters Local 528.

This ground-breaking vote represents the first Union Organizing victory at Temco Logistics and Home Depot in history.

Temco Logistics transports building and construction materials throughout the state of Georgia.

The new Members of Local 528 drive flatbed trucks outfitted with Moffett forklifts that require specialized training and certifications.

The Drivers overcame an intense Anti-Union Campaign from the company that they expect will continue as they prepare for their first Bargaining Agreement.

“We are ecstatic to finally be able to call ourselves Teamsters,” Temco Driver Jaree Beatles said. “Nobody at this company was willing to listen to us and our concerns until we turned to the Teamsters. We voted to join the Union for better pay, dignity and respect at work, and to have the backing of the strongest Union in North America.”

Teamsters General President Sean O’Brien said: “These Workers are taking a history-defining step in being the first at a Home Depot Company to join a Union. They will prove the Teamsters’ militancy and power have no bounds when they win their first contract.”

The Teamsters represents 1.3 million Members in the U.S., Canada, and Puerto Rico.
