Carhaul Ballots Scheduled to be Mailed On Or About July 14

Posted On: Jul 02, 2008 (09:55:52)
Ballots for the tentative national carhaul agreement referendum are scheduled to be mailed to members on or about July 14.

It was previously announced that ballots for the upcoming carhaul contract referendum would be mailed on July 10. Due to scheduling issues, the mailing date has been rescheduled, such that the ballots will now be mailed to members on or about July 14.

Meanwhile, leaders from carhaul local unions are scheduled to meet July 2, to review the tentative national agreement and vote on whether to endorse the tentative three-year contract. The meeting will take place in Detroit.
Carhaul Local Union Leaders to Review Tentative Agreement July 2

Updated On: Jun 25, 2008 (08:58:00)
Ballots Scheduled to Be Mailed to Members July 10

Leaders from local unions that represent carhaul members will meet July 2 in Detroit to review the tentative national agreement that was reached June 19.  If the local leaders endorse the three-year
tentative agreement, it will pave the way for carhaul members to vote on whether to approve the agreement.  Ballots are tentatively scheduled to be mailed to members on July 10.  “We are confident that local union leaders will agree that this contract is a good contract, especially given the very tough economic environment facing the auto industry and country in general,” said Fred Zuckerman, Teamsters Carhaul Division Director and lead negotiator. “This tentative agreement protects members’ job security and maintains their benefits without additional costs to members. It also protects wages.We have addressed the members’ top concerns.”

More details about the tentative agreement will be reported to members once the local union leaders review it.  “Members will learn that this contract is intended to grow the industry during this period of decline,” Zuckerman said. “Our goal is to keep our members’ jobs secure and get others back to work and be in a position to increase Teamster jobs even more when the economy turns around. This contract lays the groundwork for a more secure future for all our carhaul members in the years to come.” About 9,500 Teamster carhaulers are eligible to vote on the agreement.
Tornado Damage Photos Now Available

Photos from Thursday night's tornado that severely damaged Local 391's Greensboro Union Hall are now available in the photo gallery.  Crews have completed the task of removing all items from the building and placing wood over open holes.  The current plan is to secure a temporary office to get the phone and computers up and running.
