Members of Teamsters Local 104 working at Mondelēz International have unanimously authorized a strike, citing an unacceptable contract offer regarding compensation and health care. Teamsters Local 104 represents workers throughout Arizona.

“I’ve dedicated over 19 years to this company, and all my co-workers and I are asking for is a fair shake,” said Steven Mattingly, a Mondelēz driver and member of Local 104, in a statement issued by the union. “With the cost of living skyrocketing, our demands are simple and just. We want the same pay and benefits that Mondelēz provides its other workers across the country.”

“This is a fight Mondelēz will lose,” said Jeff Padellaro, Director of the Teamsters Brewery, Bakery, and Soft Drink Conference. “Our members at Mondelēz are united, and we are ready to stand shoulder to shoulder until we secure the fair contract we deserve. These workers are not asking for the moon—just for what they rightfully deserve.”
