After four months, and several weeks of delays by UPS, the Teamsters’ negotiating committees have secured major gains across all supplemental contracts and riders nationwide.
Of the 30 open supplemental agreements, UPS Teamsters have won tentative agreements on key issues, including overtime improvements for part-time members, reform to the grievance process and a faster grievance procedure, protections for seniority rights and the ability to bid for preferred jobs, and a complete shutdown of UPS’s proposal to try to force Teamsters to work any five days in any seven-day period.
“UPS is beginning to understand that the Teamsters’ position is rock solid — we are not tolerating concessions of any kind,” said Teamsters General President Sean M. O’Brien. “UPS just wrapped up the most profitable five years in its existence. It’s time to reward the people who made those profits possible. Our members will see no concessions across any supplemental contracts.”
