Teamsters Local 317 members at Sysco Syracuse are on strike after weeks of contentious contract negotiations with the company. Last night, more than 230 drivers and warehouse workers walked off the job in response to unfair labor practices (ULPs) being committed by management. Picket lines could extend to more locations across the country in the coming days.

Nationally, Sysco faces multiple federal investigations for violating U.S. labor law. The Teamsters are currently in negotiations at several Sysco-branded locations across the country, and hundreds of members are currently working without a contract or have contracts about to expire due to the company's failure to bargain in good faith.
