I’m a warehouseman at Lineage Logistics in Algona. We ship, pick, receive. Our product ranges from turkeys to fish to bread. A whole variety of commodities.

I’m a Teamster driver at Estenson Logistics. We haul Darigold product throughout the West. I just became a Shop Steward in the last year. I got involved because I wanted to better our shop and to work for the members.

New Local 117 members at Transdev spend their workdays helping others. They pick up our community’s most vulnerable residents – the elderly and disabled – and transport them to locations across King County. Now, a first-time Teamsters contract will give them the respect they deserve. Yesterday, the newly-organized group voted by an overwhelming margin to approve the contract.
