PRESS RELEASE
Teamsters Express Concern Over DHL Withdrawal From U.S. Domestic Market

Last update: 8:56 a.m. EST Nov. 10, 2008
WASHINGTON, Nov 10, 2008 /PRNewswire-USNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Union Disappointed in Company's Failure to Penetrate Market
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.
