Cemex negotiations led by Local 439 Principal Officer Sal Lomeli and President Rick Buzo, Business Agent Ed Speckman and Business Agent Gilbert Gomez resulted in a victorious strong contract that was ratified by 99% of the membership.

Local 439 continues expanding in the waste industry by organizing the clerks at Waste Management — making this site wall-to-wall Teamsters. Under the leadership of Principal Officer Lomeli & President Buzo, the Local is committed to organizing every segment of the waste industry in its jurisdiction.

Principal Officer Sal Lomeli and President Rick Buzo do it again: securing another major organizing victory in the waste industry as the Shred-it warehouse goes union.
The drivers organized two years ago.
Now the entire facility is officially wall-to-wall Teamsters.
Momentum. Growth. Power.
