December 10, 2010: The International union has responded in detail to the lawsuit filed by ABF against the IBT and YRCW. The lawsuit demands that ABF be given concessions by the IBT to match those given to YRCW and approved by YRCW Teamsters.
A point-by-point response is provided in an affidavit by Jim McCall, the IBT attorney for the Freight Division. That document is available here.
Hundreds of Teamster members joined our webinar on The Legal Rights of Union Stewards with labor attorney Dave Suetholz. Check out a recording of the workshop below, plus workshop slides and resources for grievance investigation.
As Yellow Corporation moves to liquidate its assets, the IBT is fighting for former Yellow Teamsters in court to recover vacation pay, grievance settlements, and other monetary claims. Teamster benefit funds are also demanding full payment.
