Hoffa and Freight Director Ernie Soehl have summoned Local officers and agents representing Teamsters at YRC, Holland and New Penn to attend a meeting in Chicago on Wednesday, April 10.
The proposed agreement will be discussed, and the members will then see the terms. A vote will be scheduled after that date. The current MOU and contract have been extended until May 31, 2019.
Teamsters, Amazon delivery drivers, and labor allies picketed today on the steps of New York City Hall to support the Delivery Protection Act. City Councilmember Tiffany Cabán announced the bill now has supermajority support in the City Council.
The IBT has launched the Teamster History Project, which includes 27 unedited interviews with Teamsters who made it happen. It covers the years 1975-1999. Those interviewed include several TDU leaders, participants in the Carey administration, James Hoffa, along with two Hoffa lieutenants who were expelled from the union for corruption and self-dealing.
