A group of 18 drivers and mechanics working for Cadman Ready Mix at the Ferndale and Bellingham, Washington locations have voted overwhelmingly in favor of joining Teamsters Local 231. The election was then certified by the National Labor Relations Board on September 19, 2022, which means that negotiations can now begin on a first contract.

Support employees at Island County Sherriff’s office and at the Island County Correctional Facility have had their voices heard! On July 26, 2022, the Teamsters Union Local 231 filed a Petition for Representation for both groups through the Public Employment Relations Commission (PERC).

Teamsters Local 231 members and their families turned out for a great day of food, games, and comradery on July 30th. Over 400 people attended the picnic at Camp Lutherwood on Lake Samish. The warm weather made swimming, canoeing, and kayaking favorite activities for all ages, and the bounce-house with slide was a huge hit with the little ones the entire day.

Teamsters Local 231, along with UPS Teamsters across the nation, are out this week kicking off the campaign for a strong contract in 2023.

An overwhelming majority of workers at Petrogas West LLC. in Ferndale, Washington voted on June 20th to join Teamsters Local 231. The workers, who are primarily operators and loaders, decided in April that they wanted to be represented.
