Brown makes a delivery to DHL
Sen. Sherrod Brown Monday dropped off some 9,000 petitions protesting a DHL proposal to contract its domestic air operations to UPS to the DHL Director of Hub Operations in Wilmington.
Brown, D-Ohio, made the delivery weeks after members of the “Save Our Jobs” coalition attempted to deliver the petitions to the Wilmington facility. Workers reported that the petitions were refused and eventually left with a security guard.
After hearing of the thwarted petition delivery, Brown wrote Mike Schmitt, DHL Director of Hub Operations, July 3.
“Regardless of whether the dismissive treatment to which these individuals were subjected stemmed from a misunderstanding or was intentional, it must be rectified immediately,” Brown wrote. “I would like to personally deliver the petitions to you and discuss your company’s future role in Wilmington.”
Brown was accompanied Monday by Wilmington Mayor David Raizk, Clinton County Commissioner Randy Riley and employees of DHL, ABX and ASTAR Air Cargo.
Should DHL-parent company Deutsche Post World Net finalize its deal with UPS, some 8,000 jobs in the region are at risk.

A lot of good the will do. Dhl is not going to change its plans just because a first-term, back-bench senator tells them too. This is a photo-op for Brown and he knows it. Maybe Brown show get to work doing something productive, the fact that the petitions were turned away shows what DHL thinks of them.
