Teamsters: The Union for DHL Workers

More Than 12,000 Workers in DHL System Are Teamsters

ALLENTOWN, Pa., July 12 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Workers throughout
the DHL system are building their union with the Teamsters Union. The union
is fighting to ensure that all workers at DHL have the opportunity to join
the most powerful union in North America. This week, workers at two
independent cartage contractors in Allentown, Pa., voted for Teamster
representation.

"I voted for the Teamsters because they are the biggest and best
union," said Felix Zamora, a worker who is a new Teamster delivering DHL
packages in Allentown. "I know that Teamsters already represent many DHL
workers, plus a whole lot more at UPS. They are the experts when it comes
to representing parcel and small package employees."

"Industry density matters when it comes to winning strong contracts
that protect workers' jobs and ensure solid wages and benefits," said Jim
Hoffa, Teamsters General President. "The Teamsters are THE union in the DHL
system."

DHL workers at two independent cartage contractors (ICC), Northeastern
Express and Jennings and Associates, both in Allentown, are now new members
of the Teamsters Union. Workers at Jennings voted today, by a three to one
margin, to join the Teamsters. Both are independent cartage carriers that
deliver for DHL. On July 19 two Teamster elections will be held for
employees of two more DHL ICCs, also in Allentown.

1. I sure hope the union can stop DHL from sucking balls.

My company uses them to ship replacement products that are covered under warranty and they are utterly incompetent.
