Cargill strike news: The Cedar Rapids company and Teamsters Local 238 have ratified an agreement to end the monthlong strike.
By Amie Rivers October 31, 2024
The union sent out a statement on the afternoon of Halloween, Oct. 31, saying they’d reached agreement.
Membership voted to ratify it on Thursday morning, according to officials with the union. A vote tally was not available.
Teamsters said the agreement “reflects necessary compromise,” but also called it a “win-win” for both sides. A union official declined to say what was agreed upon.
“We look forward to restoring and continuing to build a cooperative relationship with Cargill as we all move forward together,” said Jesse Case, principal officer of Teamsters Local 238, in the statement.
