US – Toll Global Forwarding – America, part of Toll Group has issued a detailed statement on the cases brought by the International Brotherhood of Teamsters union which have now been dismissed by the US National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). The trucking and freight forwarding company state that the media campaign by the union regarding its treatment of employees has been grossly misleading and damaging to public perception of the group.
The NLRB has cleared Toll of all allegations of improper suspensions and termination of employees in retaliation for their union sympathies. The NLRB recently dismissed two more charges against Toll Global Forwarding – America made by the Teamsters, including a claim of the unlawful surveillance and dismissal of a female driver in retaliation for her union sympathies.
