maintenance helpers, and traffic painters.
"Home to Knott's Berry Farm theme
park and other attractions, the City of
Buena Park is a destination, and these workers enhance the
quality of life of residents and visitors alike—and for that, they
deserve a strong contract," said Ray

thank them for believing in the Teamsters difference. Now, as
Teamsters, they will negotiate a contract that will improve their
compensation and working conditions."

tradition of serving those they represent, and the day-to-day
representational service offered by the Teamsters is important to
us. We know that the stronger our union is, the stronger our
contract will be," said Joe Rivera,
