Carhaul Members Support Brothers and Sisters at Chrysler

October 10, 2007

(Washington, D.C.) – Thousands of members of the United Auto Workers (UAW) walked off the job at Chrysler plants across the country on Wednesday, October 10. Teamster carhual members will not cross or work behind UAW picket lines.

“Until the strike ends, our 10,000 carhaul members will be out there honoring the picket lines by not crossing or working behind the lines,” said Fred Zuckerman, Director of the Teamsters Carhaul Division.

“We support the UAW in winning a fair and decent contract,” General President Jim Hoffa said. “Our members will do what they can so that the UAW is successful.”

Carhaul members who have questions related to the strike should call International Union Representative Paul Houck at (202) 624-8779.

The International Brotherhood of Teamsters represents more than 1.4 million workers in North America and nearly 10,000 drivers in the automobile transport industry.
