Teamsters Reach Tentative Agreement with Hertz

(Reuters) – The Teamsters union has reached a tentative agreement with car-rental firm Hertz Global, preventing a potential strike, as announced on Monday.

Nearly 3,000 Hertz Teamsters members across 20 local unions had voted last week to strike if a new agreement was not finalized by Monday.

The negotiations centered around securing higher pay and ensuring the new agreement did not establish a “two-tier system” for employees.

These workers were part of the Western Regional Master Agreement with Hertz and were represented by local unions in states including Arizona, California, Colorado, and Nevada.
