Posted by | Jun 1, 2006 | |

The Teamsters union says it is stepping up its campaign to organize workers at DHL and at its package services provider, ABX Air. Teamsters President James Hoffa led a rally with 300 ABX and DHL employees at the carrier’s main Wilmington, Ohio, hub late last week and pledged to ramp up efforts to organize ABX’s 1,200 aircraft mechanics and 5,000 workers at the largest hub in the DHL network. The union said it already represents about 12,000 DHL-related workers, including drivers in the DHL network of independent cartage carriers. “The workers organizing as Teamsters in Wilmington is the next logical step,” the union said.

DHL bets big on India, to step up new investments

Posted by | May 27, 2006 | |

DHL will continue to invest in India as a core growth market, says Scott Price, CEO, DHL Express Asia Pacific. DHL has invested over USD1.6bn in Asia Pacific so far, of which US USD250m is in India. And, more is on the way. Until the late 1990s, says Mr Price, China took a lot of time and focus. But now we are beginning to see a shift to an Asia strategy that includes both India and China. He says increasingly India is seen as a very credible place to invest in, but the lack of good infrastructure hampers proper growth. Growth for DHL in India will come from auto, computers, chips, and textiles, which are sourced increasingly from India and will need a seamless time-sensitive supply chain.
