Teamster members at Yellow Freight and Holland are preparing to strike as soon as July 24. The IBT issued the strike notice after Yellow Freight and Holland stiffed the Central States for $50 million in benefit payments that were owed on July 15.

For the first time ever, the Teamster leadership and National Negotiating Team are reporting to members the tentative agreements as they are reached during negotiations. The new tactic doesn’t just mean more information for members, it means more bargaining power.
