TACOMA, Wash., Nov. 26, 2024 ~ Puyallup, Wash. - In a historic move, 56 technicians, drivers, mechanics, clerical workers, and support staffers from Drain-Pro have voted to join Teamsters Local 313 and have successfully ratified their first contract.
According to Matt Richardson, a Drain-Pro worker, the decision to unionize was driven by the desire to reap the benefits that other workers have received through Teamsters representation. "We are already seeing the rewards of being part of this incredible union," Richardson stated.
