The Teamsters Union was notified this morning, just prior to the public
announcement, that UPS will work with DHL Express U.S. toward an agreement to provide transportation in its air network for all of DHL’s express, deferred and international package volume within the United States. UPS also would provide air lift for DHL packages between the United States, Canada and Mexico.

Upon notification, the union immediately began an evaluation of the
agreement and the potential impact on Teamster members at both DHL and UPS. In particular, the union is very concerned about the impact today’s announcement will have on the nearly 600 Teamster pilots at ABX, the airline that currently handles most of DHL's air package volume.

Teamster leaders Ken Hall, Package Division Director (UPS), Bill Hamilton, Express Division Director (DHL), and David Bourne, Airline Division Director, are working closely together to protect our member’s interests at both companies.

The union will continue to update members at www.teamster.org as more information becomes available.
