"I was there when we brought the Union in. The first-time contract they won for us was unbelievable. It changed the quality of my life. I am now a Shop Steward and enjoy working with my Union and looking after my fellow workers. "

"I
have been a member of Teamsters Local 464 for 23 years and have seen many of
the executives come and go. Some of the previous executives nearly ran the
Local into bankruptcy including losing our pension. Bobby Kornhass, Bob
Ryder and Paul Barton brought us back from the brink. Since they took over in
2000, we at Dairyland (Saputo) have had the best contracts I have seen since I
have been there."
