Creamland Teamsters at Local 492 Unanimously Ratify Contract

9/14/2025- Creamland (DFA) members have just unanimously ratified their contract. Giving drivers 6 dollar increases and plant workers 4 dollar increases over the life of the agreement. This also includes 100 percent paid H&W insurance and restores the pension to the pre-assumption agreement.

I want to congratulate all of you for standing up for what you believe in. Staying together strong through the windy nights, some rainy nights, and those hot sunny days has resulted in a great new contract!
