Layoffs. Harassment. Petty discipline. UPS management is on a tear. It’s a horrible way to run a company, but sadly it’s nothing new. In 2009, TDU exposed a UPS management memo promising to cut costs by harassing employees and violating the contract. Fifteen years later, it’s the same crap and worse.

After last year’s contract victory, management wants to “put us back in our place.” UPS Teamsters have not forgotten that we make this company run. We demand respect.
We can protect ourselves from discipline and layoffs. Here are some UPS Teamsters United resources to help empower members to defend the contract and push back on management:
- Click here to watch our webinar on "Preparing for Hunting Season at UPS" and download resources, including tips for when you're called into the office and a Just Cause checklist.
- Push back on management harassment and speedup with resources on Preparing for Your Ride-Along/OJS.
- Protect union work with our Supervisors Working Toolkit.
That's just the beginning. Sign up for future UPS Teamsters United webinars. Organize or attend a UPS Teamsters United workshop in your area. Contact TDU to talk to an organizer about enforcing the contract and building a stronger union where you work. Get in touch here.
