Members of Teamsters Local 896 at Keurig Dr Pepper (KDP) in Victorville have been forced to strike over unfair labor practices (ULPs). Over 150 workers are fighting for better wages, a stronger pension, and to recoup an unpaid arbitration award. KDP's unlawful behavior is happening during negotiations with Local 896 for a new contract.

The company's second offer was overwhelmingly voted down last weekend after it offered negligible increases in pay and pension benefits. The ULP strike in Victorville comes on the heels of a successful strike at KDP in Ottumwa, Iowa, where Teamsters secured a substantial pay boost and more affordable health care coverage.
