DHL Express Workers Launch Strike Amidst Holiday Rush and Labor Disputes

Over 1,100 unionized DHL Express ramp and tug workers at the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport have gone on strike to protest unfair labor practices and demand a fair contract. The workers, represented by the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, are seeking improved pay and working conditions. The strike comes after failed negotiations during the summer. DHL Express has implemented contingency plans to minimize service disruptions and claims that the majority of its workers are still operating. The Teamsters have expanded their picket lines to other DHL Express locations in the US.

Yellow sues union for $137M in desperate move.

Yellow Corp has filed a $137m lawsuit against the International Brotherhood of Teamsters for blocking proposed changes to modernize how the carrier operates. The company is seeking to push through a second phase of operational changes as part of a companywide overhaul called “One Yellow”. The union has rejected the latest proposal after acquiescing to a similar change last year in the western part of Yellow’s network. Yellow alleges that union interference has harmed the company to the tune of $137.3 million (“and counting”) in lost adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization as well as at least $1.5 billion for a loss in enterprise value that the company “is sustaining and will sustain.”
