Teamsters Express Concern Over DHL Withdrawal
Teamsters Express Concern Over DHL Withdrawal From U.S. Domestic Market
Quote:
Washington, D.C.) – The following is the official statement by Teamsters Union Express Division Director Bill Hamilton regarding DHL’s announcement of its intent to cut the majority of its U.S. domestic package market:
“This weekend DHL Express informed top leadership of our union of its intent to withdraw from the U.S. domestic market – an 80 percent cut in package volume. This drastic move by the company will result in significant loss of jobs for our membership at DHL Express. We will do everything within our power to assist our members through this difficult time.
Over the past five years DHL has struggled to penetrate the U.S. domestic ground market. Operational missteps coupled now with the failing economy have contributed to $8 billion dollars of losses for the company since 2003. We are disappointed by DHL’s inability to avoid the pitfalls that have led to this decision.

"We are disappointed by DHL’s inability to avoid the pitfalls that have led to this decision. " Yeah, the global financial mess is DHL's fault.

Did the Teamsters really expect a German company with mounting losses to pay over $8 an hour in wages increases over the next 5 years ?

Daimler showed what German companies think of American unions . They sold Chrysler , stopped production of Sterling , and moved Western Star and Freightliner production to new plants in Mexico .

I just seen a bunch of comments on this forum, can't remember where, about how bad their customer service was. And this is drivers, as customers, complaining about broken boxes and their drivers treating the freight like crap. Its not a way to keep your customer base.
