As you are aware, the current Teamsters ABF NMFA expires on March 31, 2018. In preparation for negotiations for a successor agreement with ABF, the IBT is requesting local unions representing employees at ABF, confer with their members and shop stewards, and submit suggested proposals to the negotiating committees. The proposal forms are similar to forms that have been used in the past for obtaining this important information.

The IBT has mandated that these forms be completed and returned to the IBT by October 16, 2017. Therefore, all proposals must be submitted to Local Union 492 by October 12, 2017 so that we will have time to sort & organize them for submission to the IBT.
You can send them to info@teamsters492.org with your filled out forms. You may also mail or bring them to 4269 Balloon Park Rd, Alb, NM 87109.
Now is the time to tell us what you would like to see in the next ABF Teamster Contract. This is YOUR contract, so make sure you participate in this process to have your ideas and voice heard.
If you have any question please call the Business Agent for Freight, Secretary-Treasurer Walter R. Maestas at 505-344-1925 ex 13. If you have any technical issues with the submission of these forms, call Trey White at 505-344-1925 ex 15.
