    Community Food Co-Op Employees Represented by Teamsters Local Union 231 Ratify First-Ever Collective Bargaining Agreement. Congratulations to the newest members of Teamsters Local 231.

    Local 231 APP/World Kinect Teamster Members join APP/World Kinect members from Locals 58 and 174 in ratifying an historic agreement that brings all APP/World Kinect Teamsters in the state under the same contract.

    APP/World Kinect Teamsters here at Local 231 and across the state made history recently as they voted overwhelmingly to ratify their first-ever regional agreement. The regional contract contains strong wage increases. The agreement also contains full family covered healthcare, with no cost to the employees, which was not previously available for Locals 58 and 231.

The VERY generous members brought in piles of toys that were distributed to the local Toys for Tots charity. “I am always amazed by the generosity of the Teamster Brothers and Sisters at Local 231.

    Bimbo Bakeries ratify 4-year agreement!

    On Saturday, November 30, 2024, Teamster members at Local 117, 231 and 252 voted and ratified a fully recommended successor agreement. The new 4-year agreement includes significant improvements to language items, including an updated grievance procedure.
