The IBT and UPS Freight are bargaining this week, as members expect action on the key issues of protecting jobs from subcontracting, wage increases that match inflation, and more.
UPS today announced that “UPS Freight revenue is up 11.4% on strong pricing and tonnage growth” and that their UPS Freight and Supply Chain Division made a profit of $260 million for the 3rd quarter, up 33.3% over last year.
On January 17, UPS Teamsters are organizing a national day of action to tell UPS to deliver on the dream by respecting the holiday, ending two-tier pay for 22.4s, and providing living wages and full-time jobs for part-timers.
The IBT General Executive Board (GEB) has approved the recommendation by James Hoffa to appoint Tony Andrews as International VP for the Western Region, over the dissent of president-elect Sean O’Brien and nearly half of the GEB members.
