ROCHESTER, N.Y., Jan. 25, 2018 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Despite announcements in 2015 of a potential plant shutdown, Teamsters Local 118 in Rochester, N.Y. and Kraft-Heinz have reached a new three-year agreement.
The ratified agreement with the recently formed Kraft-Heinz Inc. provides annual wage increases exceeding the cost of living, an enhanced medical plan, improved personal leave and vacation time along with other favorable contractual changes.
