Contract drivers for DHL to claim employee benefits

Posted by | May 14, 2005 | |

Three local drivers are challenging DHL delivery company’s reliance on independent contractors with a lawsuit that says they should have received the benefits of being classified as employees for the package delivery company.

Filed in Sacramento Superior Court this week, the lawsuit, which seeks class-action status, is the latest challenge to the spread of independent contractor arrangements throughout the courier industry.

“It’s ridiculous that they’re doing this to workers who make poverty wages, earn no benefits, no sick leave, no holidays,” said Jason Rabinowitz, the lawyer who filed the suit and who works for the Teamsters Union, which has been trying to organize drivers at DHL’s Mather Airport facility.

Fighting talk as UPS defends US market share

Posted by | May 12, 2005 | |

United Parcel Service yesterday vowed to defend its share of the US package delivery market against competition from FedEx and DHL, amid signs that its troubled domestic business is back on track. Mike Eskew, chairman and chief executive, said the domestic parcel business was “well ahead” of expectations in the second quarter of this year, following several months of sluggish performance. He set a long-term target for UPS to grow in the US at the same rate as the broader market, halting erosion of the company’s dominant position in its home territory. “We believe we will be growing at the market rate by the latter part of this year and that means we will be maintaining our share,” Mr Eskew told a meeting of investors in New York. The bullish comments set the stage for an intensification of the already bitter competition between UPS, FedEx and DHL in the world’s biggest package delivery market.
