Negotiations between representatives of dealers and Teamsters Local No. 731 continued at this newsletter’s deadline, as the parties tried to forge a new collective bargaining agreement before the current contract expires at midnight July 31.
David Radelet, a partner with the Franczek Sullivan, leads a negotiating team on behalf of 108 area dealers who employ Local 731 unionists. Eighty percent of those dealers sell domestic car lines.
Radelet said negotiators had reached many tentative agreements, but sticking points remained on a few issues.
