US Foods Workers Ratify Contract With 70% Wage Hikes
Los Angeles – – October 07, 2026 -- More than 500 US Foods drivers, warehouse workers, and mechanics have ratified a four-year labor contract delivering wage increases averaging between 66 and 70 percent over the life of the agreement. The deal, approved by members of Teamsters Locals 87, 542, 630, 848, and 986, also secures automation protections, increased pension contributions, and fully employer-paid health insurance.
Workers secure automation protections alongside wage gains
The ratified agreement includes language specifically designed to shield union jobs from displacement by automated systems, a growing concern across the logistics and food distribution sector. Pension contributions rise under the new terms, while health coverage remains fully funded by the employer with no cost shift to workers.
