Talks between UPS and the Teamsters broke down this week over part-time worker pay, raising the odds of a strike ahead of a contract expiration at the end of July.
Since then, the committee has posted a series of tweets accusing UPS of paying part-time workers near-minimum wage in many parts of the country, saying these employees are at risk of being exploited and cast aside.The existing contract will expire July 31, and UPS workers have already authorized the first strike since 1997 should the talks break down.
The Teamsters thanked former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi after the democratic lawmaker from California tweeted, "Unions are the backbone of our middle class and America's working families. U.S. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., holds her weekly press conference at the U.S. Capitol July 21, 2022, in Washington, D.C.While the union pointed the finger at UPS for walking away from Wednesday’s negotiations, the company said in a statement on Wednesday, "We have not walked away, and the union has a responsibility to remain at the table."The Teamsters have stopped negotiating despite UPS’ historic offer that builds on our industry-leading pay.
