Sysco Corporation announced it has offered unprecedented wage increases and improved benefits to its Houston colleagues amidst strike threats from the International Brotherhood of Teamsters (IBT). The company urged the Teamsters to engage in serious negotiations to finalize an agreement.
Sysco's offer includes an 8.5% wage increase for warehouse colleagues and over 9% for delivery partners in the first year, with wages projected to increase by 20% over the life of the contract. Additional benefits include increased vacation time, double pay for over 60 hours of work, and lower healthcare costs.
The company stated its commitment to reaching an agreement that rewards its Houston colleagues while balancing business needs. Sysco emphasized that the IBT's threat of a multi-site strike is part of a national strategy that harms employees, local businesses, and community partners like hospitals and schools.
