Bruce Her, pictured above, was one of the 15 who lost his job in Atlanta during the campaign to join Teamsters Local 528. Three more Sysco workers were terminated in Kansas for the same reason.
The Protecting Sysco & US Foods Workers Facebook page tells us that isn't all Sysco did:
Teamsters Local 528 has filed numerous charges against the company for direct dealing with employees, making unilateral changes to things such as work rules, discipline standards and scheduling, conducting surveillance and threatening employees.

| Sysco also fired Jason Coder, father of three, for supporting the Teamsters organizing drive in Kansas. |
Nearly 8,000 Teamsters helped build Sysco into the leading high-volume foodservice provider in the United States. They have pledged to pursue relentlessly justice for the workers targeted for their union activity.

| Shuandrez Fitzgerald, father of twins, was fired by Sysco for helping to organize the Atlanta facility. |
