WALKERTOWN Union workers at Allied Systems Ltd. in Walkertown did not go on strike Thursday morning as planned because of an agreement that was reached between the company and a union negotiating committee.
The International Brotherhood of Teamsters said Thursday that Allied Systems Holdings, the parent company of Allied Systems Ltd., agreed to withdraw its plans to cut the wages of more than 2,500 Teamster carhaul drivers in the United States and Canada.
The Teamsters National Automobile Transporters Industry Negotiating Committee, which bargains on behalf of the carhaulers, was able to reach a resolution with Allied after a series of meetings with the company since it announced the cuts on March 9.
“I am proud of our members at Allied who stood strong in solidarity through this difficult process,” James P. Hoffa, the teamsters general president and chairman of TNATINC, said in a statement. “Our members have sacrificed so much the past three years to help save this company. Allied knew that they would not stand down. Our members will now receive the proper payment under their existing contract.”
Allied Systems Holdings declined to comment.
