This morning the Company contacted and met with President Fred Zuckerman and confirmed that they will honor the 60% Short-Term Disability for Full-Time workers at Worldport (with no cap on the 60%) that our Committee negotiated.
After this meeting, Local 89 updated our Worldport Stewards on the situation and they agreed that they would now support a “yes” recommendation for the Louisville Air Rider. Teamsters Local 89 stands by the agreement originally negotiated and the “yes” recommendation made by our Stewards.
Our position on the National Master Agreement, Central Region Supplement and Freight National Master Agreement remains unchanged, and we are still recommending a "no" vote on those agreements.
