Hamilton Named Director of New Express Division for DHL Express and Danzas Members

International Brotherhood
of Teamsters General President Jim Hoffa today announced the appointment of
Bill Hamilton, International Vice President, as director of the newly
established Express Division of the union. The Express Division, under
Hamilton's leadership, will represent Teamster members at DHL Express and
Danzas.

"With the recent ratification of new agreements with DHL Express and
Danzas, we anticipate that both of these companies will continue to grow,"
said Hoffa. "The creation of an Express Division will ensure that the
Teamsters Union is focused on growing our membership at these companies.
With Bill Hamilton leading our efforts, there is no doubt we will be
successful."

Hamilton, a 42-year Teamster, first joined the union as a freight
worker with Spector Motors in 1966. After serving from 1968-1970 in the
Army's 101st Airborne Division during the Vietnam War, Hamilton returned to
various Teamster jobs and was elected to his first union position as a
steward at McLean Trucking in the early 1970s.

In 1990, Hamilton became a business agent with Local 107 and worked his
way up to being elected as the local union's President in 2000 -- a
position he has held ever since. In his time at the local, he organized
many new Teamsters, and worked closely with freight and DHL members.
Hamilton was appointed as an Eastern Region International Vice President
earlier this year.

"I look forward to working with our members at DHL Express and Danzas,"
Hamilton said. "Together we will implement our new agreements and organize
the unorganized."
