August 1, 2008: Less than two months after members ratified a concessionary contract that IBT officials touted as saving jobs, DHL has implemented layoffs, which could be permanent cuts.
Those with sufficient seniority are being offered the option to bid on part time positions, which the new contract allows.
It seems clear DHL got what they wanted from those negotiations.
The IBT and the Department of Justice have filed a joint motion in court to ask for approval on a plan to sunset federal oversight of the Teamsters. What does this mean for the future of anti-corruption efforts and International elections in our union?
An administrative law judge has ordered Amazon to recognize and bargain with Teamsters at the DCK6 delivery warehouse in San Francisco after finding the company violated federal labor law by refusing to recognize the union.
