Allied Systems Holdings and the Teamsters union are clashing over the possible reversal of a 17.5% pay cut the union agreed to three years ago when the car hauler emerged from bankruptcy.

Teamsters union workers rejected a voluntary 15% pay reduction at ABF Freight System Inc. that the company had sought to bring its pay package closer to the one the union has with ABF’s chief LTL rival, YRC Worldwide.

The Teamsters union said it was beginning talks Thursday with ABF Freight System on the company’s request for wage reductions.
