  • Local 120 members wants a fair contract

    A company in Fargo ND has now refused to sit and negotiate a contract for their food service drivers.

    TEAMSTERS LOCAL 120 BLASTS CASH-WA DISTRIBUTING CO. FOR REFUSING TO BARGAIN IN GOOD FAITH
    Cash-Wa Distributing Company is harming its 75 essential drivers and warehouse workers in Fargo, N.D. by failing to negotiate a contract in good faith for these frontline workers who are delivering food to communities during this pandemic.

    “It is outrageous that Cash-Wa is not recognizing the hard work these employees are doing day in and day out to keep our communities fed during the worst pandemic in a century,” said Tom Erickson, President of Teamsters Local 120, which represents the workers.

    “Cash-Wa likes to say it helps businesses thrive, but what about these workers who are putting their own health on the line to make sure restaurants, health care facilities, schools and other customers have the products they need?” said Brian Nowak, Local 120 Business Agent for the bargaining unit.

    After meeting over the last six weeks, the privately held, family run company has stopped meeting to negotiate after submitting a last, best and final contract offer. Workers have voted to authorize a strike, if necessary and have filed several unfair labor practice charges against the company. Cash-Wa’s headquarters is in Kearney, Neb., with another location in Aberdeen, S.D.
