At FedEx Freight, workers at the company’s Stockton, Calif., facility voted to join the union in mid-March, following a 33-12 vote in favor of joining. It became the fourth facility to vote for Teamsters representation, while votes at roughly 10 other facilities resulted in either losses for the Teamsters or a cancellation of a vote.
Most recently, FedEx workers at the company’s Chicago Heights facility voted against union affiliation, the company announced last week.
An April vote held at Con-way Freight’s Buffalo, N.Y., facility also went against the Teamsters — the sixth such outcome at the carrier so far.
The Teamsters have won elections at Con-way locations in in Miami Lakes, Fla., Los Angeles, Calif., and Laredo, Texas.
The Buffalo vote follows Teamsters defeats at Con-way facilities in Santa Fe Springs, Calif., San Fernando Valley, Calif., Bakersfield, Calif., Manchester, N.H., and Harlingen, Texas. The Teamsters have also withdrawn petitions for votes at Con-way facilities in Irvine, Calif., and Orlando, Fla.
