Teamsters, DHL Reach Tentative Pact
The Teamsters union said Wednesday its national negotiating committee reached a tentative agreement on an agreement with package carrier DHL.
The agreement still must be ratified by the full membership, the Teamsters said.
The first step in ratifying it is to present the pact at a national two-man meeting, to be scheduled soon. The two-person meeting involves two representatives from each local with DHL members, who review the new agreement and vote to endorse the tentative pact.
“Negotiations in recent months have been as complex as any I’ve been involved with but I am confident that we negotiated the best possible agreement for our members,” said Brad Slawson, chairman of Teamsters’ national negotiating committee.
Once the tentative agreement is approved, materials concerning the national contract will be mailed to members' homes and posted to the Teamster web site.
DHL Americas is ranked No. 3 on the Transport Topics 100 listing of U.S. and Canadian for-hire carriers.
