to Join Teamsters Local 332
PORT HURON, Mich.,
July 12,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Technicians at McLaren Hospital
in Port Huron have voted
overwhelmingly to join Teamsters Local 332 in Flint.
"We reached out to Local 332 after technicians and therapists at
McLaren Lapeer organized and ratified their contract. The gains and
protection they received in that contract made us determined to
become Teamsters," said Megan
Lardner, a CT technician at McLaren Port Huron. "I am so
proud of our techs and therapists for their unity. We can't wait to
get going on securing a strong contract that addresses everything
we deserve."
With this latest organizing victory, Local 332 now represents
359 workers at three different McLaren Hospital locations in
Flint, Lapeer, and Port
Huron.
"We could not be more excited to welcome another unit of health
care workers to the Teamsters," said Dan
Glass, President of Local 332. "Our newest members play an
essential role in the health and safety of Michiganders, and they
deserve the protections of Teamsters representation. We look
forward to negotiating McLaren Port Huron techs a strong first
contract."

in Flint, Michigan. For more
