45 Commissary Workers Choose Teamsters Representation

SACRAMENTO, Calif., April 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Workers at Aramark Commissary in Sacramento have voted to join Teamsters Local 150. These new members work in the commissary at the correctional facility in Sacramento County and are responsible for receiving and processing incoming products and preparing and completing orders for delivery to inmates.

"We are excited to have these new members join our team and thank Teamsters Joint Council 7 for their partnership in this organizing effort," said Dale Wentz, Secretary-Treasurer of Local 150. "Today is monumental for not only this facility but also Aramark workers across California who now know that the Teamsters have their back in the fight for a strong contract."

Aramark is a global company providing food, facilities, and uniform services to a broad array of industries. Workers at the commissary in Sacramento County provide a lifeline for families and friends to be able to provide their loved ones at the correctional facility with access to food, personal and hygiene supplies, writing materials, and art supplies.

"Our work changes lives by providing a service that is critical for the livelihood of all the inmates at the facility," said Valentino Edwards, an Aramark worker at the Sacramento County Commissary. "Our vote to join the Teamsters will give us a chance to change our lives. A strong contract will mean we don't have to work two jobs to make ends meet and that we can have access to necessary retirement and health care benefits."

Teamsters Local 150 represents approximately 9,000 members across Northern California, primarily in Sacramento. For more information, go to teamsters150.org.
