Over 340,000 UPS workers represented by the Teamsters have authorized a strike at UPS facilities across the country if a fair contract is not reached by July 31. Last week, UPS walked away from the table and as Teamsters General President Sean O’Brien said, “UPS had a choice to make, and they have clearly chosen to go down the wrong road.”
In communities across the country including here in Oregon, the Teamsters are mobilizing members and supporters to hold practice pickets to show UPS just how much solidarity and support the entire Labor Movement has for UPS workers. This is not a strike: It’s a dress rehearsal for what will happen should UPS fail to come to the table with a fair offer by the end of this month.
