Trending...
BILLERICA, Mass., March 4, 2024 ~ In a recent decision, approximately 65 workers at the Billerica Department of Public Works have voted to organize with Teamsters Local 25 in Boston. These workers, who hold positions as town hall custodians and in various divisions such as engineering, highway, parks and trees, sewer, wastewater, and water, have chosen to join the well-known union after representing themselves for several years.

According to Tom Mari, President of Local 25, the workers were inspired by the achievements of DPW Teamsters in neighboring communities. After meeting with organizers and learning about the benefits that come with joining the Teamsters – including good wages, strong benefits, and respect – they made the decision to join. This move adds to the growing municipal division of DPW members at Local 25.
