- On June 3, 2025, more than 1,000 Teamsters from eleven local unions approved strike actions targeting the processing and distribution facilities of Dairy Farmers of America across five states.
- The strike authorization followed stalled contract talks over job security, wages, time off, benefits, and workplace safety amid allegations of unfair labor practices by DFA.
- Teamsters, represented by the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, demanded protection of work, respect for time, and fair pay while warning that even limited strikes could disrupt the dairy supply chain.
- Lou Villalvazo, who leads the DFA National Bargaining Committee, emphasized the importance of safeguarding jobs, valuing employees' hours, and receiving fair compensation. Meanwhile, Peter Rosales, a Local 630 steward, expressed that their demand is simply to obtain an equitable portion of what they have helped create.
- The strike vote signals Teamsters’ readiness to protest unfair labor practices and could lead to significant supply chain disruptions unless DFA resumes contract negotiations quickly.
