Carhaul: How About a Two-Year Contract?

February 21, 2008
February 21, 2008: Bargaining begins for the national carhaul contract in March, and the concessions at Allied could spread. Carhaul Teamsters are talking about what we can do to protect our master contract and our Teamster standards. In late January Teamster carhaul officials met to screen contract proposals and formulate the demands for the national contract that expires May 30. On Feb. 20 local officials will meet again to approve the union’s demands. Bargaining will...

Carhaul: Can a Two-Year Contract Help Rebuild Teamster Power?

February 01, 2008
February 1, 2008: In late January Teamster carhaul officials met to screen contract proposals and formulate demands for the national contract that expires May 30. Hopefully the good proposals submitted by members and locals will be put on the table, but the fact remains that a large chunk of Teamsters carhaulers are stuck under the 2007 Allied concession deal that lasts another two years. This creates a tough bargaining climate for our union. The 17.5...

Carhaul Bargaining to Open

January 10, 2008

Carhaulers who want to submit contract proposals should use the Carhaul Division’s form. A copy of that form is available for download here. Those forms...

Concessions for PTS Carhaulers Approved

December 19, 2007
December 19, 2007: The International Union pushed through 17.5% wage concessions for 1500 PTS Teamsters, by giving none of them the right to vote on the pay cut. Allied Teamsters voted by a 3-1 margin to approve the concessions, in balloting tallied today. There were nearly one thousand fewer votes cast than in the Allied vote in April, when most strong carhaul locals voted No. Most angry Teamsters simply didn’t vote in the charade, and...
