The Teamsters 856 Food Processing Division was created in 2019 with the merger of Teamsters Local 601 and Teamsters Local 856. The Division represents members working in California’s Central Valley who provide the essential service of processing, packaging, and distributing food across the United States.

The Teamsters 856 Food Processing Division is a part of Teamsters 856 — a growing union of 17,000 working people throughout Northern California standing together for economic progress and fairness on the job. We work to combine effective strategic planning with strong resources to position ourselves to fight smart at the bargaining table; provide aggressive representation in the workplace; and encourage member participation and involvement.
