Members of Teamsters Local 896 at Keurig Dr Pepper's Victorville, California, facility have initiated a strike over unfair labor practices. Over 150 workers are demanding better wages, a stronger pension, and the recoupment of an unpaid arbitration award.
The strike comes amidst ongoing negotiations for a new contract, with the company's second offer reportedly overwhelmingly rejected due to negligible increases in pay and pension benefits. This labor dispute could impact KDP's operations and supply chain in the region.
This ULP strike follows a successful strike at KDP's Ottumwa, Iowa, facility, where Teamsters secured a substantial pay boost and more affordable health care coverage. The Victorville strike highlights continued labor tensions within the company.
