Maryland Workers at SriSai Biopharma Join Teamsters Local 355

Maryland Workers Secure Union Representation with Teamsters

In a decisive move for labor representation, 35 employees at SriSai Biopharmaceutical Solutions LLC in Frederick, Maryland, have voted to join Teamsters Local 355. This group of workers is responsible for providing crucial clinical and non-clinical supply management services to significant U.S. government agencies such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Their journey to unionization was marked by strong camaraderie and determination, especially during a walkout staged in response to unsatisfactory working conditions. Scott Chismar, a Local 355 business agent, acknowledged the group's efforts, stating, “The strength and solidarity that these workers showed was some of the best I’ve ever seen.” He praised their unity during the company's anti-union campaign, highlighting the exceptional nature of the workers.

Addysin Gross, a senior warehouse operations associate, expressed optimism about the future under Teamsters representation. Gross remarked, “My co-workers and I knew we deserved better and began looking into what union would fit us best. We are looking forward to working under a Teamsters contract that will provide us with dignity, justice, and respect in the workplace.”

Teamsters Local 355, which represents over 5,000 members across Maryland, Virginia, and Delaware, continues to expand its influence by championing workers' rights and ensuring better workplace conditions. More details about the union can be found at teamsters355.com.
