Full UPS Teamsters Tentative National Agreement Now Available
UPS walked away from the bargaining table on July 5 after telling our union, “We have nothing more to offer.” Yesterday, the company returned to the table and agreed to a tentative agreement that forces the company to deliver record wage increases on top of all the improvements we had already won in our year-long contract campaign.
