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.
The Teamsters joined the United Autoworkers (UAW) and five other international unions representing members at the largest U.S. defense contracts in a letter calling on Congress to ban defense contractors from funneling money to Wall Street investors through stock buybacks and dividends instead of investing in jobs and infrastructure.
Amazon drivers at the company’s DBK1 facility in New York City marched on the boss to demand union recognition and better pay, healthcare, and job security.
