In addition to the 3 UPS workers in Chelmsford, 2 dozen others are under doctor-ordered quarantine, according to their union.
Three employees at a large UPS facility in the greater Boston area have tested positive for the coronavirus and two dozen more have been quarantined on a doctor's orders, according to their union, Teamsters Local 25.
O'Brien wrote he was informing members what the union knew about the COVID-19 cases in Chelmsford because UPS was"refusing to provide critical information to its employees regarding positive and presumptive positive COVID-19 cases in the facility." "In my opinion, the Company has made zero efforts to protect its employees," O'Brien wrote."Teamsters Local 25 is actually appalled at the absolute lack of an appropriate response to the pandemic and incomprehensible refusal to provide equipment and products" such as gloves and sanitizer.UPS strongly disputed the union's accusations.
When UPS did not respond to the letter, the union informed members about the cases it knew of Monday, in a letter first reported by WCVB-TV of Boston. The numbers had gone up to three positive tests and more than two dozen quarantined with symptoms or because of family members who had tested positive. The union also provided workers with information on which parts of the 1,500-person facility the three positive workers had recently worked in.
