(Reuters) - Teamsters has reached a tentative agreement with car-rental firm Hertz Global, averting a potential strike, the labor union said on Monday.
Nearly 3,000 Hertz Teamsters members at 20 local unions had voted last week to strike if a new agreement was not reached by Monday.
Teamsters members at Hertz were negotiating for higher pay and language in an agreement that they feared would create a "two-tier system."
The workers were covered under the Western Regional Master Agreement with Hertz and were represented by locals in Arizona, California, Colorado and Nevada, among other states.
