DHL Teamsters at CVG Vote to Authorize Strike

DHL Teamsters at CVG Airport have overwhelmingly voted to authorize a strike if necessary. The union, representing 1,100 employees, is seeking a pay raise and changes to safety protocols. DHL says it has been bargaining in good faith and is prepared for the situation, activating part of its contingency plan. The company plans to bring in extra staff and temporarily move flights away from CVG. Negotiations between DHL and the union are ongoing, and the General Executive Board of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters has authorized an increase in strike benefits for DHL CVG workers.
