 Aug. 26, 2022 | WORKERS’ RIGHTS | The Teamsters Union applauds the National Labor Relations Board for its role in advancing a historic settlement between Teamsters Local 848 and Universal Logistics. Under the agreement, all of the company’s misclassified Southern California drayage drivers will be re-classified as employees, and these drivers will be entitled to fair wages, benefits, and protections under a Teamster contract. “This is a big step, but there’s more work to be done. The Teamsters will continue to fight until every misclassified worker is an employee under the law,” said Sean M. O’Brien, Teamsters General President. Under the settlement between Universal Logistics and the Teamsters, the company will classify all of its drivers in the region as employees and allow them to unionize. Teamsters
