Teamsters Seek 7 Percent Annual Raise in Trucking Contract
The Teamsters led by James R Hoffa demanded raises averaging 75 cents per hour over three years for about 450000 trucking workers, plus mileage rate increases and additional benefits. The talks with 12,000 trucking firms began with the exchange of proposals. The contract would extend annual cost of living hikes and cover penalties for handling warheads and ammunition. Hoffa faces legal action but aims to push for a strong civil service policy in future state action.
