DHL tug and ramp workers at CVG say yes to the Teamsters

A three-day voting period has ended and a majority of 1,100 DHL ramp and tug workers have decided to join the Teamsters.

Earlier this month, workers held a rally just outside the DHL global hub in Erlanger, Ky., saying they wanted management to guarantee safer working conditions.

Eight-year employee Michelle Sanchez participated in that rally and hopes a union will force the company to better prevent and treat injuries. She describes a time when DHL was short staffed and she got hurt.
