🚨UPS STRIKE VOTES START THIS WEEK 🚨

Local unions representing @UPS #Teamsters will begin conducting in-person voting this week for strike authorization. #1u Image
Voting YES will enable the Teamsters National Negotiating Committee to call a nationwide strike at UPS should the company fail to reach agreement on a strong new contract for more than 340,000 UPS Teamsters.
Strike authorization votes will be recorded in-person at local union halls and at the gates of UPS facilities.

Results will be announced Friday, June 16.
“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 #Teamsters General President Sean M. O’Brien.
“The National Committee strongly urges all UPS Teamsters to vote YES to authorize a #strike. This is how we win,” O'Brien said.
“All Teamsters at UPS must be ready to show these corporate executives how serious we are about our new contract. We’ve been organizing, training, and rallying in the lots. Now it’s time to vote,” said #Teamsters General Secretary-Treasurer Fred Zuckerman.
“UPS is going to give us what we’ve earned. But we have to fight like hell for it. We must be prepared to hit the streets August 1 if UPS screws this up.”

More details will be available soon on the UPS #Teamsters app and directly from local unions.

Remember all those photos last summer of @UPS #Teamsters sharing temperature readings from the inside of their package cars? 100 degrees? 120? 140!

Yeah, we remember. #1u 🧵 Image
And all those workers and their families who’ve suffered death, heat stroke, dehydration, and severe illness won’t soon forget about UPS’s negligence.

It’s long past time this corporation pulling in revenue in excess of $100 billion did something about it.
Corporate PR campaigns like “Cool Solutions” and “ReCharge” aren’t going to cut it. #Teamsters need real solutions, not excuses and distractions.

At the bargaining table and in the barns, it’s time to reconcile with air conditioning and proper ventilation.

O’BRIEN TO UPS: YOU SUCCEED BECAUSE OF PEOPLE — DON’T FORGET THAT

After a 13-hour day — at the bargaining table & in subcommittee meetings — the @UPS #Teamsters National Negotiating Committee ended Tues. with a sharper focus on forcing UPS to make more progress on key proposals. Image
#Teamsters spent hours throughout the day pushing back on UPS's attempts to maintain the status quo or weaken worker protections in its Surepost program. Article 26 of the Nat'l Master Agreement outlines UPS’s eligibility to ship smaller packages of specific weight/size via USPS. Image
Several rounds of #Teamster proposals were exchanged to push UPS to put more boxes back on union package cars and commit to regular testing of the very technology the company uses to redirect volume. Image

#Teamsters are calling on shareholders of Chipotle $CMG to support Item Six, a proposal that calls for the adoption of a non-interference policy in worker organizing efforts to prevent union busting at the company: teamster.org/2023/05/teamst… #1u
Chipotle staff in Lansing, MI who joined #Teamsters Local 243 became the first workers to form a union at the fast casual chain last year.
"Let me put the record straight: while the company stopped short of breaking the law by firing workers — like an NLRB Administrative Law Judge found in Maine — Chipotle sent in union busters (euphemistically called ‘union avoidance consultants’) and held mandatory meetings..."
