Workers say they'll be at the Sysco Boston headquarters 24/7 until they can come to an agreement on their new contract.
Sysco Boston sent a statement to NBC10 Boston when asked to respond to the strike at their headquarters on Saturday, saying:
Sysco Boston respects and cares about our associates and deeply appreciate their contributions to our success. That’s why we're standing firm in support of a strong contract that works for our associates. Sysco Boston offered wage increases of 25% over the life of the contract and 7% in Year 1 as well as affordable healthcare options that would save our associates money compared to their current plan.
Local police said they were monitoring the strike, saying in a release,"The individuals walking the picket line have been boisterous at times, but respectful of boundaries." Traffic is heavier on Spring Street near Route 44 but no one has been injured. u003cemu003eSign up for our u003c/emu003eu003ca rel=u0022noreferrer noopeneru0022 href=u0022https://www.nbcboston.com/newslettersu0022 target=u0022_blanku0022u003eBreaking newsletteru003cemu003e u003c/emu003eu003c/au003eu003cemu003eto get the most urgent news stories in your inbox.u003c/emu003e
