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 are backing the Faster Labor Contracts Act (FLCA), a new bill introduced by Sens. Josh Hawley (R-MO) and Cory Booker (D-NJ) that would require employers to start contract negotiations with newly organized workers within 10 days of voting to form their union.
NLRB Board member Gwynne Wilcox has been reinstated, restoring the Board's quorum and enabling it to resume issuing decisions about violations of workers' rights to organize.
