UPS Freight Workers Ratify Teamsters Contract UPS Freight Workers Ratify Teamsters Contract 4/8/08 Quote: The Teamsters added more than 9,900 members with workers at UPS Freight ratifying a contract by more than 89 percent. When the company was Overnite Transportation, it was vehemently anti-union. The contract ratification caps a 50-year struggle by the Teamsters to organize workers at Overnite, which was bought by UPS in 2005 from Union Pacific Railroad and renamed UPS Freight. The Teamsters kicked off this organizing campaign in 2006 when it organized UPS Freight workers in Indianapolis and negotiated a contract with the company that was ratified by a 107-1 vote last October. In January 2008, the Teamsters launched its nationwide campaign. Hoffa and Teamsters Package Division Director Ken Hall attributed the organizing success to the card-check agreement the Teamsters won from UPS in December 2007. Card-check is a procedure where workers sign cards to join a union instead of going through a voting process. A majority of workers in a bargaining unit must sign cards, which are then certified, before the company recognizes the union. http://www.truckinginfo.com/news/new...?news_id=60164
