Teamsters Demand 35 Percent Truck Driver Wage Hike
The Teamsters Union proposes a 35 percent wage increase and large fringe benefits for 40 000 drivers in a new three year contract. Officials fear such a settlement could lift labor costs 50 to 60 percent and spur inflation. The plan would boost pay by 2.50 dollars per hour over three years, raising average wages above seven dollars. Higher trucking costs could flow to consumers unless more realistic terms emerge before March 31.
