HEBRON, Ky., April 28, 2023 ~ Today, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters (IBT) celebrated a major victory in Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG). After a yearlong campaign for representation, more than 1,100 DHL Express workers voted to join Teamsters Local 100.

"This was a long time coming!" said Steve Fightmaster, a ramp lead and DHL Workers United for Change committee member. "We stood strong to become Teamsters and changed over 1,000 people's lives for the better."

Bill Hamilton, Director of the Teamsters Express Division, commented on the victory: "This is a testament to what can be achieved when workers are united for a better future. These workers overcame a tough anti-union campaign and fought hard against the retaliation and misinformation from management. Ultimately, they prevailed because they were determined to bring real change to their workplace."

Following certification of the election by the National Labor Relations Board, negotiations will begin for a first Teamster contract for DHL-CVG workers. Fred Zuckerman, General Secretary-Treasurer of IBT expressed his excitement: "We are thrilled that more DHL Express workers have successfully fought to join our union. Our entire union stands with these workers, ready to keep holding DHL Express accountable."
