(San Bernardino, CA)- Teamsters at the City of Fontana Public Works Unit have voted to ratify a new contract, marking a significant win for the dedicated workers who maintain and enhance the city’s infrastructure and public services such as parks, sewers, streets, sidewalks, storm systems, and much more.
This contract is a major step forward in recognizing the vital role our members in moving Fontana forward. Under this new contract, workers will see pay increases, improved health insurance coverage, and a new Retiree Medical component. These significant improvements come after months of negotiations and strong advocacy by our members, proving that when workers fight together, they win together.
“I feel proud voting yes on this contract because we were able to secure Retiree Medical which is a game changer for myself and my family, when I eventually begin to plan for retirement. I’ve worked here for 17 years, and since becoming a Teamster, I have seen significant improvements in my salary, work environment, and medical benefits. This contract ensures that we can continue to support our families while serving the community we love.” says Russell De La Fuente, Steward and Teamster Member at Fontana Public Works.
“Our Fontana Public Works Teamsters are the backbone of the city of Fontana, ensuring that roads, parks, and facilities are safe and well-maintained for everyone to live, work, and play in Fontana. This contract not only rewards their hard work but also ensures they have the resources and protections they deserve, now and in the future.” says Secretary-Treasurer of Teamsters Local 1932, Randy Korgan.
