Informational Update for Carhaul Members
Aug 10, 2016

In an effort to keep our Carhaul members apprised of Carhaul industry developments, we would like to bring to your attention a recent effort being undertaken by Teamsters Local 651 to create an “organizing conference” for the Carhaul Division. 

Local 89 strongly supports organizing within the Carhaul industry. Local 89 has successfully organized all Carhaul work in our jurisdiction under the NMATA, a fact we pride ourselves on. We fully support future Carhaul organizing, so long as it is done in a manner that increases strength within the industry and protects our Teamster Pension plans. 

Attached here you will find the original letter sent from Teamsters Local 651 President Mike Philbeck that gives a general description of their plans for a Carhaul organizing conference and asking for monetary donations to start the effort up. Also attached is a letter from Teamsters Local 89 President Fred Zuckerman in response to this proposed conference. 

In the letter, President Zuckerman asks for more details about the conference before he can pledge any of Teamsters 89’s resources to its creation. Given the IBT’s recent history of organizing Carhaul work outside of the National Master Automobile Transporters Agreement (NMATA), a method that Teamsters 89 thoroughly disagrees with, President Zuckerman wants to be very certain of what the goals of this proposed conference are.  Specifically, he requests an explanation of the logistics, organizational design of the conference, and any proposed strategic organizing campaigns, as well as a determination as to whether the conference intends to organize new Carhaul work under the NMATA.
