The IBT posted a letter from UPS Freight to all locals addressing a range of questions raised by members concerning the recent sale to TFI. The letter confirms that TFI will adhere to contract provisions and pension requirements. Those Teamsters not yet vested in the pension will not lose their accrued time. UPS Freight Teamster members and stewards need to continue to monitor and enforce the contract during the transition. 

UPS Freight will pay up to ten days of paid leave to Teamsters who are diagnosed with COVID-19, living with someone with COVID-19, or have been quarantined by a government agency, medical professional or by the company.

The IBT is serving up an insulting “last best and final” offer from UPS Freight for a vote to be conducted by Local Unions on November 9-10-11 with in-person voting. The offer contains zero improvements in the wage proposal, where a five-year tiny increase would cause wages to fall far behind inflation. It offers no real improvement in the subcontracting language.
