Statement from Local 100 Secretary-Treasurer Mark Overberg
CINCINNATI, Sept. 5 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The following is a statement from Mark Overberg, Secretary-Treasurer of Teamsters Local 100 inCincinnati, Ohio. The local represents the dispatchers employed by ASTAR Air Cargo inWilmington, Ohio:
"The planned partnership between DHL and UPS for the delivery of air cargo inthe United States raises serious concerns that merit investigation. To that end, the House Transportation Committee has scheduled hearings on Sept. 16 to review this proposed collaboration. This is a welcome step by Congress to determine if any antitrust violations have occurred as a result of this proposal.
"The proposed closing of the Wilmington Air Park has serious repercussions to not only the employees there, but the surrounding community. A proposed closure of this magnitude and the loss of approximately 8,200 jobs calls for intense scrutiny by all local, state and federal agencies affected.
"Local 100 supports the local, state and federal elected officials as well as the grassroots activists who are involved in this effort. We greatly appreciate their efforts and will continue to assist them in every way possible."
