June 9, 2010: The contract status of 3,000 working and laid-off carhaul Teamsters at Allied remains up in the air, after Judge Mullins in U.S. bankruptcy court in Atlanta today refused to get involved in interpreting the contract.

Management, which tried to get the bankruptcy judge to intervene three years after the bankruptcy ended, contends that they cannot pay the 20 percent increase, and that the concession agreement does not contain a “snap-back” clause.

IBT Carhaul Director Fred Zuckerman says it does contain a snap-back, and now says that he has asked James Hoffa what action to take at this time.

Union, Allied Will Meet on Concessions

http://tdu.org/node/4008

Updated June 16, 2010: Allied Automotive Group has agreed to pay the full contract wage, retroactive to May 29 when their three-year concession deal expired, and will now come to carhaul Teamsters asking for a fresh concession package.

Teamsters’ paychecks this week (June 18) will be incorrect; Allied has agreed to issue retroactive checks to make up the difference.

For the first time in three years, Teamsters should receive the contract wage rate, while Allied moves to bargain a concession proposal with the International union.

The International Union says they will now negotiate regarding Allied’s concession proposals, and will review Allied’s finances before agreeing to concessions. Article 6 of the Allied concession agreement already granted the union full access to Allied’s financial records for the past three years, so why doesn’t the union already have this information?

Any concession agreement will have to be voted on by all working and laid-off Allied Teamsters.
