Wegmans warehouse workers have a new five-year labor contract following months of negotiations.
Teamsters Local 118 announced the contract that provides a 16.5 percent wage increase over the course of the agreement, better night differentials and a $500 ratification bonus.
“We are very pleased with the progress made in many areas of this new agreement. Reaching this five-year deal with the company underscores the company commitment to maintain general merchandise warehouse operations in the Rochester area,” said Local 118 Business Agent Paul Hogle.
Wegmans spokeswoman Jo Natale said, “We are pleased that we were able to quickly come to an agreement that benefits our people.”
The Teamsters represent about 4,300 workers in the Rochester area. They are one of three unions that negotiate on behalf of Wegmans’ employees. Bakeshop workers and general distribution workers are also unionized.
