Wilsbach Distributors employees have voted to ratify a new labor agreement, reaching a settlement just before the Union’s deadline to strike.

The agreement comes after negotiations focused on protecting workers' interests while securing terms that support long-term stability and continued success at Wilsbach Distributors.

Throughout the bargaining process, members remained united, engaged, and prepared to take action if necessary. That solidarity played an important role in bringing the parties to an agreement in the final hours.

Some highlights of the five-year agreement include:

17% wage increase over the life of the agreement.

The insurance cost per pay period will decrease by 50%. Additionally, the insurance package now includes a cap on out-of-pocket expenses.

The length of service required to qualify for additional weeks of vacation was reduced, and a 6th week of vacation was added for Members with 30 or more years of service.

In a vote held on July 1, 2026, the contract was ratified by approximately 80% of the Members.

President Dearth thanked the membership for their patience, support, and participation during negotiations and recognized the bargaining committee for its time and dedication in representing the Membership’s priorities.

With the agreement ratified, members will continue serving customers without interruption as they move forward under a new contract that reflects the value of their work and contributions.
