MEMBERS RATIFY RODGERS

Local 70 members working at Rodgers Trucking overwhelmingly ratified a new three year agreement this past month. The contract provides an immediate increase in health and welfare and has sizable economic increases in each year along with maintenance of benefits for health and welfare.

Health care costs took center stage in the discussions between the company and Union. The issue is becoming universal in every collective bargaining agreement, whether it be Teamsters or others.

Rodgers has close to 140 members working from five different locations. It's been under contract with Local 70 for forty years.
