UPS Contract Call to Action: Teamsters United Launches Petition Drive

Teamsters United has launched a petition drive to demand a fair UPS contract and TDU activists are making plans.

Negotiations pick back up on Monday, March 19. We’re informing and uniting UPS Teamsters to send the company a strong message by passing out palm cards highlighting key issues, and collecting signatures on petitions.

Get involved to show UPS that members are sticking together to demand a contract that addresses our issues.

Be sure to have several clipboards, petitions, and pens. A simple card table will help for holding supplies and increases visibility. It's always best to work with at least one partner. That focused effort helps us get Teamster names and numbers so we can get news on the contract out quickly. And standing at the gates or parking lot, shows management that members are mobilizing to win real improvements to the contract."
