Teamsters ratify five-year contract with UPS

Teamsters voted by an “overwhelming 86.3% to ratify the most historic collective bargaining agreement in the history of UPS,” the union announced. “The five-year contract protects and rewards more than 340,000 UPS Teamsters nationwide, raising wages for full- and part-time workers, creating more full-time jobs, and securing important workplace protections, including air conditioning. The agreement passed by the highest vote for a contract in the history of the Teamsters at UPS. All supplemental agreements were ratified as well, except for the Local 769 LAI supplement which covers 174 members in Florida,” the union stated.
