Justice Dept. seeks information from DHL - WNEWSJ

The U.S. Department of Justice has asked DHL Express to provide information related to the company’s proposed deal with United Parcel Service (UPS), a DHL executive said Thursday at an economic development workshop. The local workshop was held to brace the Wilmington area for the whiplash-like unemployment jolt the corporate decision will let loose.

During a media interview that touched on the possibility the deal has antitrust implications, senior DHL official Michael Schmitt said, “DHL is complying with all requests from the Department of Justice.”

I worked for DHL for ten years and I can honestly say that their decision to use UPS is the best thing they could do for their customers. A company such as DHL that has no vision and gives nothing but lip-service to their customers, should do the right thing for both their customers and employees and pull out of the U.S. entirely.
