HEBRON, Ky., Aug. 12, 2024 ~ In a significant development, more than 1,300 sort workers at DHL's global hub at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG) have joined Teamsters Local 89 after the company voluntarily recognized their right to collectively bargain. This move will now provide these workers with the same strong contract that protects over 1,100 CVG ramp and tug workers who joined the Teamsters last year. With this addition, the Teamsters now represent over 7,300 workers at DHL Express nationwide.
Teamsters General President Sean M. O'Brien expressed his satisfaction with this agreement, stating that "no one better represents and protects American workers in delivery and logistics than the Teamsters Union." He also added that this recognition by DHL will only make workers stronger in the industry. O'Brien also took a dig at Amazon executives, calling them corrupt and stating that they will continue to try and crush workers' efforts to organize. However, he believes that through solidarity and militancy, workers will always emerge victorious.
James Lamb, a sort worker at CVG and a new member of Local 89, shared his excitement about being officially recognized as a Teamster. He stated that their victory is a testament to what can be achieved when they stand together as one. Lamb also mentioned their readiness to secure the protection of a strong Teamsters contract.

DHL's decision to voluntarily recognize its workers' right to unionize is in stark contrast to Amazon's aggressive union-busting tactics employed at its adjacent KCVG air cargo hub. While DHL has acknowledged its workers' choice to join a union and fostered a positive relationship with the Teamsters, Amazon has relentlessly fought against its employees' fundamental right to unionize.
Bill Hamilton, Teamsters Eastern Region International Vice President and Director of the Teamsters Express Division, hailed this as a significant victory for the dedicated men and women at CVG who ensure DHL's operations run smoothly. He also believes that this move by DHL's U.S. CEO Greg Hewitt will ultimately benefit both the workers and the company.
Despite Amazon's unlawful efforts, more than 4,000 workers at KCVG are continuing their fight to secure the same robust protections that thousands of DHL workers and more than 340,000 Teamsters in delivery and logistics at UPS currently enjoy.
The International Brotherhood of Teamsters, founded in 1903, represents 1.3 million hardworking people in the U.S., Canada, and Puerto Rico. This organization has been fighting for workers' rights for over a century and continues to do so with its latest victory at DHL.
