DHL Express workers threaten to strike if no contract by March 31

Teamsters workers at DHL Express in the United States, by an overwhelming majority, have authorized union leadership to call a strike if the express delivery giant doesn’t present an acceptable contract offer by the end of March. The current national master agreement between the company and the union covers thousands of drivers and warehouse workers across 26 local unions in 16 states. The labor agreement is set to expire on March 31. Top union priorities include pay, strengthening working conditions and protecting benefits.
