UPS drivers’ rights were watered down when the IBT lost an important arbitration decision on 9.5 protections against excessive overtime.

The concessionary UPS contract that was rejected by UPS Teamsters isn’t doing much for the members, but it is paying off for management. In a flurry of press releases over the last 24 hours, UPS announced that profits are rising and the company will use lower-paid 22.4 drivers to make Sunday deliveries starting in January.

UPS Teamsters are finally getting their nine months of retro pay for our contractual raises. Check to make sure you’re getting what you are due, using TDU's retro pay calculator. 

Under the new contract, the 9.5 list is under the control of our union.

How to protect yourself when management gets on your truck—whether it’s a one-day production ride or a three-day OJS.

Fed up with information brownouts and contract givebacks, Teamster members in Philadelphia Local 623 and Memphis Local 667 won changes to put more member involvement in contract negotiations by reforming their local union’s bylaws.

Hoffa-Hall are playing politics with our contracts and Teamsters are paying the price.

Ten weeks. That’s the latest word from IBT Package Director Denis Taylor on how long it will take UPS to issue retro checks–money owed to you–following the April 29 implementation of the contract. Taylor reported to officers and agents at the national grievance panel meeting that retro checks are expected in the first pay period in July. There is no report that Taylor attempted to do anything about the stretching out of “6-8 weeks” to 10-11 weeks.

UPSers have been jerked around for months since we Voted No at UPS.  Now, we’re getting jerked around with our retro pay too.

The new UPS contract is now in effect for five years. This whole ugly process has exposed the need for new leadership and a new direction in our International Union.
