From R to L: Lance Asher, Tim Smith, Steven Martin, and Douglas Trotter, and John Scearcy

Nuestros miembros de Viking Sprinkler votaron unánimemente hoy para ratificar un nuevo contrato de tres años.

The agreement, which was negotiated by our Union's Secretary-Treasurer, John Scearcy, provides wage and pension increases, and significant improvements to the employees' dental coverage.

"We're really happy with this contract, it's probably the best we've had," said Tim Smith, a member of over 20 years. "John worked his tail off getting us a good contract."

"We're really happy with this contract, it's probably the best we've had."

Our Shop Steward, Douglas Trotter, who participated in negotiations, agreed:

"I'm feeling really good about this contract. It's always a pleasure to have John Scearcy come in and facilitate the negotiations. I feel honored to have had him on board with this one."

Trotter has been with the company for 14 years, and has been a Shop Steward for nine.

Another member, Steven Martin, who came to Viking from a non-Union shop just eight months ago, was also pleased. "This whole Teamster Union thing is new to me. You get way better benefits, better medical. Overall everything is much better."
