The Teamsters Freight Division says it has met with thousands of members in the last year, outlining goals and laying the groundwork for negotiations ahead.
The union's current contract with TForce expires July 31.
“We made some minor progress and tried to pluck some of the low-hanging fruit this week,” said Kris Taylor of Teamsters Local 745 in Dallas who has been designated as the lead for the Teamsters negotiating committee. "We told the company that it cannot avoid addressing our members’ concerns.”
The next session is scheduled for the week of April 10.
