President Brian Clardy and Secretary/Treasurer Mike Powers spent some time with our Charleston Movie Industry members on the set of the Netflix show, "Outer Banks." They are currently working hard on episodes for Season 4! Local 509 members are also hard at work for the 4th Season of the HBO show, "Righteous Gemstones.
Upstate Business Agents and Stewards just finished negotiating Crown Cork & Seal USA’s Contract. Members of Teamsters Local 509 employed with Crown Cork and Seal overwhelmingly ratified a new three-year agreement. The new CBA provides for significant wage increases, increased benefit contributions, the elimination of a two-tier wage system, and protection of Seniority rights for members. In addition, the new agreement also cleans up and improves previous contract language.
“On behalf of the President James Todd, Vice President Brian Clardy and myself, we would like to thank the Stewards for their help in these negotiations with the CBA, and getting a strong contract for our members” stated Local 509 Business Agent Charley Brooks.
