DHL TEAMSTERS REACH TENTATIVE AGREEMENT ON STRONG NEW CONTRACT
The four-year deal includes higher health contributions, job protections against AI and autonomous vehicles, and prevents a nationwide strike by thousands of DHL Teamsters.
- After weeks of negotiations, the Teamsters National Negotiating Committee reached a tentative agreement with DHL, averting a national strike involving thousands of workers across 26 locals.
- Teamsters at DHL voted by a 96 percent margin to authorize a strike as the previous agreement was set to expire on March 31. This readiness to strike powered negotiations.
- The new four-year agreement includes a 20 percent wage increase and higher health contributions, while establishing robust safeguards against AI-driven routing systems and prohibiting autonomous vehicles.
- DHL dockworker and Teamsters Local 986 shop steward Eric Camarena called it "the best contract we've ever negotiated," while Teamsters General President Sean M. O'Brien said members "demanded a contract that recognizes the hard work they perform."
- In the coming weeks, DHL Teamsters will vote on the agreement, which the Teamsters Union says sets a new benchmark for the company and industry.
