Teamsters Local 89 Struck Zenith & Transervice

Local 227 UFCW has just been notified that Teamsters Local 89 has struck Zenith & Transervice in Louisville, KY.

At this time the warehouse employees have set up picket lines at the warehouse, and the delivery drivers are honoring the picket.

Local 227 members should notify their area representatives or the union office as developments occur so we can notify the rest of our membership.

We will notify our members on how to help our Brothers and Sisters at Local 89. Please visit our web site for updates.

Your patience is appreciated.
