(CHICAGO) – Workers at Universal Promotions in Chicago have voted for representation with Teamsters Local 710, joining a growing national movement of print graphics workers seeking strong union representation.
“With Teamsters representation, we will have a real say over how we’re treated on the job,” said Cecilia Sandoval, an E-store and inventory controller at Universal Promotions and proud new member of Local 710. “We’re excited to negotiate a contract that guarantees we’re treated with respect.”
The 25 workers provide services ranging from graphic design and embroidery to engraving and screen printing. They wanted to join Local 710 to secure a real voice in the workplace as well as the higher wages, better benefits, and improved work rules that come with a Teamsters contract.
“On behalf of every member of Local 710, I am happy to welcome these new Teamsters to our union,” said Mike Cales, Secretary-Treasurer of Local 710. “Workers across the graphics industry are recognizing that joining the Teamsters Union is the best way to ensure they have the strong representation that guarantees them fair treatment.”
Teamsters Local 710 represents thousands of workers from a range of industries throughout Illinois, Indiana, and Iowa. For more information, go to Teamsters710.com.
