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.
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.
