Labor Relations Radio, E91—A rank and file Teamsters explains what the media is not covering about the new UPS contract
“It was all political theater….What we’ve got is more of the same.”
Episode Summary: While the nation was relieved that the Teamsters and United Parcel Service (UPS) reached a contract without a debilitating strike, a group of rank and file Teamsters had been vocally opposed to the “sell out” deal.
In this episode of Labor Relations Radio, host Peter List is joined by ‘Jay,’ a rank and file Teamster employed by UPS, to discuss how, form many UPS workers, the new contract is not nearly as good for many UPS workers as the media is portraying.
