The IBT posted a letter from UPS Freight to all locals addressing a range of questions raised by members concerning the recent sale to TFI. The letter confirms that TFI will adhere to contract provisions and pension requirements. Those Teamsters not yet vested in the pension will not lose their accrued time. UPS Freight Teamster members and stewards need to continue to monitor and enforce the contract during the transition.
Teamsters, Amazon delivery drivers, and labor allies picketed today on the steps of New York City Hall to support the Delivery Protection Act. City Councilmember Tiffany Cabán announced the bill now has supermajority support in the City Council.
The IBT has launched the Teamster History Project, which includes 27 unedited interviews with Teamsters who made it happen. It covers the years 1975-1999. Those interviewed include several TDU leaders, participants in the Carey administration, James Hoffa, along with two Hoffa lieutenants who were expelled from the union for corruption and self-dealing.
