On July 9, members of UFCW Local 400 who work at the Keurig Dr Pepper facility in Fairmont, W.V., ratified a new contract that strengthens wages and benefits. These members are employed as drivers, warehouse workers, and in other capacities at the facility.

Key provisions of the three-year contract include:
• Largest pay increases in recent memory.
• Expanded health and welfare benefit options.
• Personal protective equipment and work tools when needed.
“I want to congratulate our Keurig Dr Pepper members on their outstanding collective bargaining agreement,” said UFCW Local 400 President Mark P. Federici. “Together, they won major improvements in their standard of living, health benefits, and workplace safety. Their strength and unity show once again how union membership empowers workers to make their lives better.”
