SEATTLE, June 14, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- More than seven months after voting to organize with Teamsters Local 174, a group of more than 50 concrete mixer drivers at Corliss Resources have now voted to authorize a strike against their employer. The strike vote is in response to the glacially slow pace of negotiations for a first contract, with Corliss management only agreeing to meet with the union six times over the past seven months. There are still countless issues that have been left open during negotiations, including many of the issues that are most critical to the drivers, such as cameras, discipline, pay rates, healthcare, and retirement. As of now, only two additional dates are scheduled for Corliss to meet with the Teamsters Local 174 bargaining team.

Key Points: 
  • The strike vote is in response to the glacially slow pace of negotiations for a first contract, with Corliss management only agreeing to meet with the union six times over the past seven months.
  • As of now, only two additional dates are scheduled for Corliss to meet with the Teamsters Local 174 bargaining team.
  • It's time for Corliss to come back to the table with a serious commitment to reaching a deal."
  • Founded in 1909, Teamsters Local 174 represents 8,300 working men and women in Seattle and the surrounding areas.
