Chicago Restaurants Worry About Food Supplies Due to Sysco Strike | Eater Chicago

"About 125 warehouse workers at a northwest suburban Des Plaines distribution center began a work stoppage, and roughly 200 truck drivers soon joined in a sympathy strike, halting many scheduled food deliveries and disrupting supply lines across the city. The workers, who have been without a contract since February 2020 and resumed negotiations in January, say talks have made almost no progress over the last eight months and that more than 99 percent of membership voted to strike; their supporters argue they were pushed too far after keeping schools, hospitals and restaurants stocked. Management has warned most deliveries will be missed or delayed, says vital facilities such as schools and hospitals will be prioritized, and reports it is bringing in staff from other locations and third parties while rejecting claims of bad-faith bargaining." - Ashok Selvam
