Georgia Workers Gather Support Ahead of Teamsters Election

A group of 70 concrete ready-mix drivers at Southern Readymix will stage a community action at 4 p.m. on Friday, June 5, to display their unity and resolve ahead of their union election later this month. The drivers will be joined by elected officials and community allies in their push for dignity, fairness, respect, and a voice on the job.

The vote will cover workers at seven Southern Readymix yards across Georgia. A successful result would make them the first ready-mix drivers to unionize in the state in 25 years.
