超過400名工人準備上街示威，因爲公司拒絕提供公平的合同
HOUSTON, Dec. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Over 430 drivers, warehouse workers, and mechanics represented by Teamsters Local 988 have voted overwhelmingly to authorize a strike after Sysco failed to present an acceptable contract offer.
休斯頓，2024年12月19日 /PRNewswire/ -- 超過430名司機、倉庫工人和技工由美國團隊工會地方988代表，他們以壓倒性票數授權罷工，因爲Sysco未能提出可接受的合同報價。
"Nothing our members are demanding is unreasonable," said Robert Mele, President of Local 988. "These workers want what everyone in this country deserves: fair wages, quality health care, and a secure retirement. If Sysco refuses to get serious at the bargaining table, we are ready to hold them accountable for their greed."
地方988的主席羅伯特·梅勒說："我們成員要求的一切都不算過分。這些工人想要的正是這個國家每個人應得的：公平的工資、優質的醫療保健和安全的養老保障。如果Sysco拒絕在談判桌上認真對待，我們隨時準備讓他們爲他們的貪婪負責。"
The Teamsters represent more than 10,000 workers at Sysco nationwide. Last year, Sysco's refusal to offer a fair contract led to strikes in Indianapolis and Louisville. Picket lines expanded to over 1,000 Sysco workers across the country. The two-week strike resulted in record-breaking contracts.
團隊工會在全國範圍內代表超過10,000名Sysco工人。去年，Sysco拒絕提供公平合同導致印第安納波利斯和路易斯維爾發生罷工。示威隊伍擴展到全國超過1,000名Sysco工人。爲期兩週的罷工導致破紀錄的合同達成。
"Sysco has not learned its lesson and continues to prioritize profits over the workers who make their success possible," said Tom Erickson, Director of the Teamsters Warehouse Division. "We won't back down. We will do whatever it takes to bring this company to its knees and secure the contract our members in Houston deserve."
團隊工會倉庫部門董事湯姆·埃裏克森說："Sysco沒有吸取教訓，繼續將利潤置於使他們成功的工人之上。我們不會退縮。我們將竭盡所能，讓這家公司屈服，確保我們在休斯頓的成員應得的合同。"
Members of Local 988 supply food and other products to major restaurant chains in the Houston area, including The Cheesecake Factory, Jersey Mike's, Jimmy John's, Buc-ee's, and Pappas Restaurants.
地方988的成員向休斯頓地區的主要餐廳連鎖供應食品和其他產品，包括芝樂坊餐館、Jersey Mike's、Jimmy John's、Buc-ee's 和Pappas餐廳。
"We don't want to strike, but if Sysco forces us onto the picket lines, they'll have no one to blame but themselves," said Charles Adams, a driver at Sysco and a Local 988 shop steward. "All we're asking is for the ability to support our families. We are ready to hit the streets if Sysco doesn't give us the deal we deserve."
Sysco的司機和地方988的工會代表查爾斯·亞當斯說："我們不想罷工，但如果Sysco逼我們走上示威線，他們只能怪自己。我們所要求的只是有能力養活我們的家庭。如果Sysco不給我們應得的交易，我們隨時準備走上街頭。"
