UPS Issues Statement After Teamsters REJECT Latest Proposed Contract

ATLANTA, GA. (THECOUNT) — After weeks of back and forth, the Teamsters union has rejected a proposed contract with UPS.

UPS issued a statement saying:

“We are disappointed the Small Package and Freight tentative agreements were not ratified. The Teamsters’ negotiating committee and UPS developed fair agreements that reward UPS employees for their contributions to the company’s success, including improved wages, benefits and job creation. A contract extension is in place and UPS expects to operate on a business-as-usual basis. UPS will meet with Teamsters leadership in the near future to discuss next steps.” source

The deal would affect 280,000 workers nationwide, including 10,000 in Louisville.

The contract would add full-time jobs and increase starting wages, but critics are concerned a new class of drivers would make lower wages with fewer rights.
