Workers at Dairy Farmers of America Join Teamsters

Drivers at Dairy Farmers of America (DFA) in Goldsboro, N.C. have voted to join Teamsters Local 391 as contract negotiations resume for 2,000 Teamsters at the dairy co-operative nationwide.

The 11 drivers overcame an intense anti-union campaign from the company. In the two weeks leading up to the election, DFA sent company representatives into the facility to spread misinformation and intimidate workers.

“DFA pulled out all the stops to prevent just 11 drivers from joining the Teamsters — that shows just how scared they are of the Teamsters,” said Michael McGaha, President of Teamsters Local 391. “We couldn’t be prouder to welcome our new members into our union.”

The victory comes as Teamsters escalate national contract negotiations covering 2,000 DFA workers across the country.
