This is how we win.”Ī UPS delivery van is driven long a city street in Garden Grove, California, U.S., March 29, 2022. “The National Committee strongly urges all UPS Teamsters to vote YES to authorize a strike. “The time has come to use our strongest leverage and officially remind UPS that hundreds of thousands of Teamsters are ready to withhold our labor to ensure UPS acts accordingly,” said Sean M. Voting will occur in person both at local union halls and at the gates of UPS facilities, according to the Teamsters.
The union represents more than half of UPS’s total global employee base – 340,000 UPS Teamsters – which includes drivers and package sorters. Strike authorization votes are routine during contract negotiations, and almost always pass.Ī nationwide UPS strike would be the largest work stoppage in US history. The vote results will be announced next week on June 16, the union said. UPS workers will vote this week on whether to authorize a strike if their union – the International Brotherhood of Teamsters – does not reach a new contract with UPS by August 1st. As Americans become even more reliant on delivery, hundreds of thousands of UPS workers this week could authorize a strike that will bring the world’s biggest package courier to a standstill.
