Nearly 15,000 Teamsters are concerned for their future, now that UPS has sold off its LTL and trucking operation to TFI International. The International Union was caught by surprise by the move, and hastily held a conference call of local officers to give some answers.
Members are rightly concerned about their future.
On the positive side, the UPS Freight contract is in effect for another 2 ½ years. Wages, benefits, pensions, and conditions should be unchanged when the UPS trucks are rebranded as “TForce Freight,” the name that TFI has chosen for its new division.
The grievance procedure and panels are part of the national contract in Article 7, and will be unchanged. Reportedly, UPS has agreed to staff the panels for a transition period. All pending grievances will move through the procedure.
Many Teamsters are concerned about what may happen to their jobs and contract in the future; a frequent question is “what will happen to our pensions under future contracts?”
The pensions that Teamsters have earned so far are protected by law and by the contract. UPS is required to meet all its pension obligations acquired prior to the point of sale—and TForce Freight is responsible for making pension contributions for the life of the contract.
But when the contract comes up for renegotiation, future accruals and benefits will be on the table. The company could possibly put on the table that future accruals be frozen or even reduced. We will need strong Teamster leadership and a united membership to protect and improve our pensions.
TFI is a major trucking and transport corporation which operates a number of trucking companies, primarily based in Canada. They have acquired truckload, logistics, courier and LTL companies. Some of them are union, with contracts with Teamsters Canada, and a few in Missouri are in the Teamsters.
UPS Freight will now be TFI’s largest subsidiary, and will make TFI one of the five biggest LTL companies in North America.
TFI management indicates that their goal is to make UPS Freight a profitable operation and build their network in the USA, with further intention to build a network in Mexico, linking all of North America.
In a conference call with stock analysts on January 25, TFI CEO Alain Bedard stated that they planned to upgrade the operation, including UPS Freight’s aging equipment fleet.
Bedard may also have foreshadowed the purchase three months ago, when he said he had no problem with the Teamsters.
Wall Street seems to agree that TFI wants to strengthen the UPS Freight operation. The trucking analyst Wolfe Research reports that “UPS used its LTL business as a loss-leader with bundled pricing, so we see an opportunity for TFI to raise rates.” TFI stock surged by 32% on the announcement.
But the same report states that to make TForce more profitable, they “likely will not retain all the business,” which could possibly translate to some layoffs in the future.
What’s our protection? To put in place a strong union leadership in the IBT, and to work within our locals to inform and unite our membership to defend and improve our union standards and contract.
The Hoffa administration fought against UPS Freight Teamsters, instead of mobilizing them, and has pushed through weak contracts. We can do better.
A contract campaign that listens to and unites members around our priority issues has to begin in 2022 if we’re going to win the contract we deserve at TForce Freight in 2023.
TDU is committed to working with TForce Teamsters across the country to build a militant network of members, stewards and officers. We are also committed to do our part to win new IBT leadership committed to a militant program and not afraid to mobilize for a strike if that becomes necessary.

Under the direction of Denise Faustman, MD, PhD, the Immunobiology Laboratory at the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) has advanced the understanding of the role the human immune system plays in autoimmune diseases, cancer and transplantation. From basic research into turning the immune system on to fight cancer to a Phase II clinical trial to reverse type 1 diabetes, the lab conducts and then translates basic research in applications that help patients.

As a nurse, Julia Schulman already is at higher risk for contracting the coronavirus. As a nurse with diabetes, she has a greater chance of getting severely ill or dying from the disease.
"I’ve been very nervous throughout the entire time" of the pandemic, said Schulman, who works with diabetes patients as a nurse manager at Northwell Physician Partners Endocrinology at Great Neck.
Diabetes is the second most common underlying medical condition for New Yorkers who have died of COVID-19, and the most common for those under 40, according to New York State Department of Health data.
Experts say people with diabetes are especially susceptible to severe COVID-19, largely because the coronavirus can cause dangerous inflammation of the blood vessels. Most people with diabetes already have inflammation, creating a potentially deadly combination.
Schulman said many of her diabetes patients are frightened about their increased vulnerability to the virus, so part of her job is to reassure them and help them reduce their risk.
Of the 34,407 New Yorkers who had died of COVID-19 as of Monday, more than 91% had one or more underlying medical conditions, according to the health department. More than 37% of those with an underlying condition had diabetes, and nearly 12% had kidney disease, which often is caused by diabetes. Some people had multiple underlying conditions.
The only underlying condition more common than diabetes was hypertension, or high blood pressure, which 58% of those who died of COVID-19 had. About two-thirds of people with diabetes also have hypertension or take medicine to lower their blood pressure, according to the American Diabetes Association.
Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo said Jan. 12 that immunocompromised people would be next to be eligible for vaccines but has not said when they will be added.
The health department did not directly respond to questions about the timetable, instead sending a statement from senior Cuomo adviser Rich Azzopardi that blamed the federal government for recommending people with underlying conditions be made eligible for vaccinations without supplying enough vaccines.
Cuomo said the state is studying which medical conditions would qualify for the list.
A Centers for Disease Control and Prevention list of those with underlying medical conditions that put them at higher risk for severe COVID-19 includes Type 2 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is listed with hypertension, asthma and other conditions that "might" put people at higher risk for severe COVID-19. The CDC said there is insufficient data to be sure.
As a health care worker, Schulman, who has Type 1 diabetes, qualified for a vaccine, and she got her first of two shots nearly three weeks ago.
"I think it will give me some peace of mind for sure," she said.
As many as 95% of adults with diabetes have Type 2, which means the body doesn’t make insulin or use it well, according to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases. The bodies of those with Type 1 diabetes do not make insulin and need insulin shots to survive.
The body breaks down certain foods into blood sugar, and insulin is needed to transfer that sugar into cells, where they’re converted into energy. In people with diabetes, too much of that sugar remains in the blood.
The frequent spikes and drops in blood sugar that many people with diabetes experience lead to inflammation, said Dr. Joshua Miller, medical director of diabetes care at Stony Brook Medicine and assistant dean at the Renaissance School of Medicine at Stony Brook University.
"Their blood vessels and organs have suffered years and years of damage from that increased burden of inflammation," said Miller, who has Type 1 diabetes. "So when you take someone with long-standing diabetes, with uncontrolled diabetes, with blood sugars that are very high … and you put on top of that person a deadly virus that in and of itself causes marked inflammation, it’s a recipe for disaster."
Miller said people who have had diabetes for longer, and those whose diabetes is less controlled, likely are at higher risk for severe COVID-19 than younger people with controlled diabetes.
In addition to endangering the lives of people with diabetes, COVID-19 also appears to help cause diabetes. Miller said he has seen people who had no history of diabetes, or who had prediabetes, enter the hospital "and their blood sugar goes through the roof because of COVID. There’s something about the virus that renders them unable to make enough insulin."
They then leave the hospital with a diabetes diagnosis that they did not have when they arrived, he said.
Some people with diabetes will need dialysis, typically three to four hours, three times a week, said Dr. Susana Hong, a nephrologist with North Shore University Hospital in Manhasset.
Dialysis centers have instituted precautions such as mandatory mask-wearing, a prohibition on eating to keep masks on, and health screenings and temperature checks before each visit, she said.
Schulman said she has stressed to her patients the critical importance of general COVID-19 precautions, as well as measures to control their diabetes.
"I tell them during this period it’s more important than ever to keep blood sugars tightly controlled, that we make sure they’re following their regimens and keeping in touch with us if their blood sugars are elevated, so we can do something about it," she said.
