Teamsters union efforts to strike Overnite Transportation

By Staff -- Logistics Management, 1/1/2000

Teamsters union efforts to strike Overnite Transportation failed to disrupt most operations for long. As the peak shipping season ended, the less-than-truckload carrier reported that all but one of its 166 service centers were in operation and that 97.5 percent of its shipments were being delivered on time. The carrier's revenues were down by less than 3.0 percent in November, and tonnage slipped 7.4 percent, as some shippers switched carriers. Just over 800 of Overnite's 13,000 employees participated in the strike. The Teamsters have been attempting to organize Overnite, a subsidiary of Union Pacific Corp., for several years.
