Marquez Brothers Workers Vote to Join Teamsters
Please welcome our over 200 new brothers and sisters who work at Marquez Brothers Inc. in Hanford, CA. They voted to join Local 517 in Visalia on Friday, July 20th. Marquez is the largest distributor of Mexican consumer products in the United States.
This new unit of employees joins more than 35,000 Teamsters employed in dairy production throughout California and the United States. Work in the dairy industry proves to be both difficult and dangerous, and Teamsters are able to make a living wage with good benefits and retirement security in return. The employees at Marquez knew they deserved the same.
