Carhaul Contract Meetings Under Way

Teamster carhaul members’ contract priorities are job security and protecting pension and health benefits, according to the recently completed contract surveys.

“We appreciate the members who filled out and returned the surveys,” said Fred Zuckerman, Director of the Teamsters Carhaul Division. “Our members’ feedback helped us put together strong contract proposals.”

Members of the carhaul supplemental and national committees met Tuesday, February 1 to review the contract proposals. On February 10, representatives from carhaul local unions will meet to review and approve the National Automobile Transporters Industry Negotiating Committee’s contract proposals that will be submitted to the employers.

Contract negotiations are expected to begin in early March. The current, three-year national carhaul contract expires May 31, 2011.
