Nearly 8,000 T-Force Teamsters are getting ready to vote on a new five-year contract. The tentative agreement will be put to a membership vote after two officials from every local union that represents T-Force members meet at Teamster headquarters on Monday to review the agreement. Voting will be conducted in-person and organized by local unions.

Nearly 15,000 Teamsters are concerned for their future, now that UPS has sold off its LTL and trucking operation to TFI International. The International Union was caught by surprise by the move, and hastily held a conference call of local officers to give some answers.

Excessive subcontracting has been a key issue for members for the past ten years. Both the company and the Hoffa administration claimed a list of positive changes as they promoted ratification of the contract.
