Union Update

Dear Brothers and Sisters,
 
The contract was signed by all unions at the end of January, then is goes through processing.  All members should be receiving their raises and retroactivity payments in 60 days.
 
To all members,
 
Teamsters are well aware of the pay disparity of new hires and truly understand the frustration. I take full responsibility and vow to get to the bottom of this problem.
 
Our contract states that all new hires start at Bottom Step and grade in their respective job title in black and white. DOT did this without Union knowledge.
 
Teamsters have our attorneys on this issue. Now that our contract is settled, we can focus on this morale buster and make all members whole.
 
My apologies to all of you for the lack of updates on the web site. I battled Covid 19 for a little time.
 
In solidarity,
 
Brother George
