Seventeen thousand union members in the Southeast are on strike against AT&T. AT&T wants to hike their healthcare costs and is refusing to engage in good faith negotiations for a new contract. Here's how you can support them, including honoring picket lines.
Teamsters Don't Cross Picket Lines
UPS, freight and most Teamster delivery driver contracts have the right under our contracts to honor any primary picket line.
If you see a primary picket line at an AT&T location, you do not have to make a delivery there.
UPS drivers can enter “strike” on their DIAD board and bring the delivery back to your center at the end of the day.
Many Teamsters who work under local contracts have the right to honor picket lines too—especially if you have a concern about your safety.
If you’re affected by the AT&T strike or any other picket line, check your contract or call your local.
The bottom line is: Teamsters don’t cross picket lines!
