Sysco reaches wage agreement in LA union talks; strike issue stalls final deal

• Sysco (SYY) Monday called on Teamsters Locals 630 and 848 to end their strike at Sysco’s Los Angeles facility and finalize an agreement.
• The parties have agreed on fair, generous, and competitive wages, pension contributions, benefits, and time off. The sole unresolved issue is union-demanded language that could permit strikes at any time, exposing customers and communities to repeated service disruption.
• Sysco’s final offer provides an $8.00-per-hour wage increase by April 2027, with wage growth of more than 40% over the contract term.
• It also includes increased pension contributions and pension-eligible hours, a sixth week of vacation after 30 years of service, and double-time pay after 12 hours, the company said in a statement.
• By October 2029, the top hourly rate would exceed rates in a recently ratified agreement with another major foodservice distributor, Sysco (SYY), added.
• "The strike risks disrupting service across the Los Angeles area."
