DHL Express workers threaten to strike if no contract by March 31
Thousands of DHL Express drivers and warehouse employees represented by the Teamsters have voted by a 96% margin to authorize a strike if negotiations fail to produce a new national contract before March 31. The union says pay, working conditions, and benefit protections remain unresolved, and leaders have warned they will not agree to any contract extensions. Bargaining teams have been meeting in Washington, but the union insists that both the national agreement and all supplemental local agreements must be finalized before the deadline. The standoff follows earlier labor unrest at DHL’s Cincinnati air hub and in Canada, signaling broader tensions across the company’s North American operations.
