On September 13, leaders from freight local
unions from across the United States unanimously endorsed the
contract proposals that will be submitted as part of the 2008
National Master Freight Agreement (NMFA) negotiations.
The leaders met in Chicago, where National
Freight Division Director Tyson Johnson and Assistant Director
Gordon Sweeton presented the proposals to local leaders.
The contract proposals will be presented to
company representatives when the two sides meet in November.
