WILMINGTON, Ohio — A group of workers and citizens presented DHL with petitions Monday to urge the package delivery company to keep work at its hub in western Ohio.
DHL says it wants United Parcel Service to replace ABX Air and ASTAR Air Cargo in transporting DHL packages. That would mean much of the work normally handled at Wilmington Air Park would be transferred to UPS facilities, threatening at least 6,000 jobs.
The "Save Our Jobs" coalition says it has collected about 9,600 signatures. Members of the group brought petitions to the hub while chanting, "We don't believe your song and dance. Keep the jobs, give us a chance!"
