Workers win, billionaires lose! Let’s bring this energy to support the Harvard Graduate Students Union - UAW workers on strike right now, and next week if we need to with the Massachusetts Nurses Association MGB nurses!
TEAMSTERS AT ENCORE CASINO OVERWHELMINGLY RATIFY NEW CONTRACT
After 62 Days on Picket Line, Teamsters Local 25 and UNITE Here Local 26 Workers Overwhelmingly Ratify five-and-a-half-Year Agreement
After eight and a half weeks on strike, more than 1,300 workers at Encore Boston Harbor, represented by Teamsters Local 25 and UNITE HERE Local 26, have overwhelmingly ratified a 5.5-year collective bargaining agreement. The contract includes significant wage increases, enhanced benefits and improved worker protections.
“This strike showed what happens when working people stand together and refuse to back down. Our members remained united and fought for the respect and contract they deserve. Encore Boston Harbor is a world-class operation because of the people who make it run every day, and this agreement recognizes the value of these workers. This is what union solidarity looks like.” — Tom Mari, President, Teamsters Local 25
The workers at the casino play a critical role in the resort’s operations. The bargaining unit includes 211 Teamsters working in the warehouse, horticulture, call center, cage cashier, limousine, dispatch, traffic, valet, and guest experience departments.
“We proudly stood together as union brothers and sisters and fought for the contract – and respect - we deserved all along. Now we’re proud to be heading back to work, bringing that same solidarity, pride and commitment to our fellow workers, our guests and the job every day.” - James Atkins, Teamsters Local 25 Chief Steward, and lead horticulturalist at Encore Boston Harbor.
THANK YOU to all the Teamsters Local 25 members that supported this strike! Together we win! Divided we beg!
