WASHINGTON, April 22, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Drivers and helpers for Shred-it, Inc., in Trenton, N.J. have voted overwhelmingly, by a more than 3 to 1 margin, to join Teamsters Local 469 in Hazlet, N.J. The organizing victory was announced yesterday following a mail-in election for the unit of 32 workers.
Shred-it workers overcame an aggressive anti-union campaign by management throughout the organizing drive to secure union representation, seeking fair treatment and working conditions.
"This victory is proof that when you work together as a team, and put in the time and dedication to make change, workers have the ability to achieve their goals," said Cassiba Joseph, a Shred-it driver who helped launch and lead the unionization effort. "We are grateful and honored to be represented by Local 469 and will continue to work together to win fair and honest compensation and benefits. We look forward to a great future ahead."
