After refusing to back down from its decision to terminate 250 drivers, UPS on Wednesday agreed to give them back their jobs. The Atlanta-based company faced criticism for its stance, but then reached an agreement with the union to re-hire the drivers who work from a depot in Maspeth, Queens.
Teamsters nurses and their supporters marched from the Iowa capitol to Unity Point Health Iowa Methodist Medical Center to demand that their union election be certified.
The Teamster Independent Investigations Officer (IIO) has issued a report recommending charges against Joe Smith, the principal officer of Delaware Local 326, for illegally driving union-owned cars for more than a decade after getting convicted of a DUI and for lying under oath during the investigation.
