Workers at Time Critical Freight, Inc., in Montgomeryville, Pennsylvania, a fast-growing freight company on the East Coast, have voted to join Local 463.

The election took place December 23, 2009, and contract negotiations are set to begin later this week. There are now 20 drivers in the bargaining unit, about six more than when the election took place.

“The company has been growing rapidly at the Montgomeryville terminal and the drivers want fair wages and fair and consistent work rules,” said Bob Ryder, Secretary-Treasurer of Local 463 in Fort Washington, Pennsylvania. “We will work hard to negotiate a strong contract that addresses all their issues.”

Local 463’s victory has raised interest among workers at other Time Critical Freight terminals to form a union with the Teamsters.
