(CAMARILLO, CALIFORNIA) – Workers at RTW Management, Incorporated have voted overwhelmingly to join Teamsters Local 186.

The 22 Public Transportation Workers include Maintenance Dispatchers, Dial-A-Ride Drivers and Fixed-Route Drivers who are now ready to fight for a strong Teamsters contract that guarantees fair pay, better working conditions and a stronger voice on the job, Union Officials said.

“We’re so proud to welcome these newest Members to the Teamsters,” Local 186 Secretary-Treasurer Abel Garcia said. “They are no longer At-Will Employees and will now have the opportunity to secure the wage increases, improved working conditions and the protections that come with a Teamsters contract.”

Local 186 will now begin negotiating a first Collective Bargaining Agreement with RTW Management, Incorporated on behalf of the newly-organized group.

“When I think about the future and my fellow Co-Workers, I cannot express how proud I am to be a part of Local (186),” Jim Gaines, a Driver at RTW Management said. “This victory gives us a real voice on the job and the opportunity to secure a better future for ourselves and our families.”

Teamsters Local 186 represents Workers in a wide variety of industries throughout Ventura and Santa Barbara Counties in California.
