Woo-hoo! Another Teamster organizing victory in FL!

We'd like to extend a warm welcome 70 new brothers and sisters in Vero Beach, Calif. They voted by an overwhelming majority on Thursday to join Local 769 in North Miami.

The new Teamsters work in technical, clerical and administrative jobs for the City of Vero Beach. Local 769 already represents 213 city employees.

According to TC Palm,
Some of the new employees covered work for the city's electric and water and sewer departments. The City Council is currently investigating a possible sale of the electric system to Florida Power & Light Co. and the water and sewer department to Indian River County.
