This deal with Quaker Valley gives them what we all deserve: a dignified retirement. Sending my congratulations to everyone who stood together in fighting for this new contract.” Teamsters Local 500 represents nearly 70 Quaker Valley Foods employees in Northeast Philadelphia, including the roughly 35 truck drivers who began striking on August 5, 2026. These workers fought for and secured stable retirement benefits, in the form of a hybrid annuity, as part of their new contract with the food distributor. | 1 | 2026-09-30T10:57:52Z | 2026-09-30T10:59:04Z |
