WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Teamsters Union is announcing the Day of Action at UPS to be held on Tuesday, June 4th.
The Day of Action kicks off a weeklong Petition Drive Campaign.
Stewards and other Teamster representatives will be visiting UPS worksites across the country, asking members to sign petitions. The petition asks members’ for their support of the National Negotiating Committee and its efforts to secure a strong contract.
The Teamsters are demanding a contract that expands full-time job opportunities, preserves Teamster jobs, provides good wages and pensions, and maintains health benefits. “In short, we expect a contract that rewards our contribution to UPS’s record growth and profits,” according to a report on the Teamster website.
Every UPS Local Union is being asked to participate. The goal is to sign up every UPS Teamster. “We are going to show the company that we are united, and that we will do ‘whatever it takes’ to secure a strong contract,” the Teamster website states.
