We are pleased to announce that Local Union # 71 has successfully led an organizing campaign at Adams, an Oldcastle Company in Lilesville, NC. These drivers are suppliers for bagged, ready mix concrete and supplies to Lowes, Home Depot and such. The vote was held on Friday June 21^st with a nearly a 4 to 1 ratio in favor of being represented by the International Brotherhood of Teamsters. We’d like to give all the recognition for this successful campaign to our new Joint Council # 9 Organizer, Edsel McDonald. None of this would have been possible without his insight and hard work on this project. As we begin negotiations with Oldcastle, we hope to gain momentum toward organizing the 50+ employees inside the plant as well.
