20 Apr Nestle Purina PetCare Quality Assurance Workers Say UNION YES!

Posted at 13:22h in Local Union News, Organizing by

When the quality assurance workers at the Nestle Purina PetCare plant in Edmond, Oklahoma realized the benefits production workers enjoyed thanks to a BCTGM collective bargaining agreement, they set out to become members of Local 366G (Oklahoma City).

Local 366G represents the 235 workers in production, processing, sanitation, maintenance, and the warehouse. And on April 19, the workers of the Nestle Purina Pet Care quality assurance department joined the ranks of the unionized plant by voting to become members of the BCTGM.

Local 366G President James Perez, Vice President Darrian Haggins, and Secretary-Treasurer Gerald Miller, together with rank-and-file members worked relentlessly to organize the quality service workers.

According to BCTGM International Representative David Woods the workers maintained solidarity despite being forced to endure a barrage of anti-union tactics by the company including captive audience meetings and management intimidation.

โ€œI am very proud of the quality assurance workers who had the courage to resist the companiesโ€™ anti-union propaganda and anti-union strategy throughout the 23-day period between filing for an union election and being able to and vote to become members of BCTGM Local 366G,โ€ recalls Woods.

The Nestle Purina Pet Care quality assurance workers and their supporters were overcome with joy and excitement once the final votes were counted and their union victory was official.
