UPS Teamsters in the Central Region: Your holiday guarantees matter.
Demand them — on the day after Thanksgiving and every holiday you work.

[James DeWeese @DeWeeseIBT89]

I got some special help today at the local from my not so little girl. She worked for a burger and punk rock music.

[James DeWeese @DeWeeseIBT89]

Dear @UPS management, this may be your new office on August 1st… Enjoy…
Maybe then you will realize that our @Teamsters deserves a fair contract!

[James DeWeese @DeWeeseIBT89]

@UPS Poverty wages!

[Sean M. O'Brien @TeamsterSOB]

The benefits that UPS workers currently enjoy are due to @Teamsters who have fought for them over the years. Not because UPS is generous. If they were generous, we’d have a deal by now. #PayUp

AFTER MARATHON SESSIONS, UPS NEGOTIATIONS COLLAPSE

Around 4AM, UPS walked away from the bargaining table after presenting an unacceptable offer to the Teamsters that did not address members’ needs. The UPS Teamsters Nat’l Negotiating Committee unanimously rejected the package

[Sean M. O'Brien @TeamsterSOB]

There seems to be some confusion amongst @UPS executives 🤔

Based on the lack of progress relating to heat & safety in bargaining, the @Teamsters would appreciate if you reminded your negotiating team of your concerns @CarolBTome. Just so you are all on the same page. #ThankYou

[Sean M. O'Brien @TeamsterSOB]

Glad you’re on our side, @LindsayD399 #ForceToBeReckonedWith 👊🏻💪🏼

MILITANT MINDS
The new leadership of the @UAW, including President Shawn Fain, came to #Teamsters headquarters today to meet with General President Sean M. O’Brien, General Secretary-Treasurer Fred Zuckerman, and Teamsters Carhaul Division Director Avral Thompson. #1u

[Sean M. O'Brien @TeamsterSOB]

.@Teamsters continued to put in work on supplements last night… We’ll see if the company did the same… Big progress must be made before our Nat’l Negotiating Committee agrees to tackle the master agreement. First things first @UPS #Teamsters #FinishTheSupplements

[Sean M. O'Brien @TeamsterSOB]

We’re going to push @UPS harder than they have ever been pushed. My message to our team this morning: “Let’s get in our respective corners & come out swinging”

[Sean M. O'Brien @TeamsterSOB]

Just getting started ✊🏼

Walking the Sysco strike line with my baby girl.

[Sean M. O'Brien @TeamsterSOB]

They say the definition of insanity is doing the same thing repeatedly while expecting a different result…@Sysco should know by now, when you f**k with @Teamsters, we’re not putting up with it. Get your act together & bargain fairly. Until then, we’ll see you out front.

“The principles Dr. King fought & died for are the principles that guide the labor movement. Dr. King would be standing with #Teamsters & all workers today as we confront Corporate America to lift up the working class.”

What an honor to march with my #Teamster Brothers & Sisters in ATL this morning to commemorate the life & bday of the late Martin Luther King Jr. Dr. King was a champion for labor & would stand with the @Teamsters in their fight for a strong contract at UPS if he were here today.

[James DeWeese @DeWeeseIBT89]

While UPS pays lip service to the legacy of Dr. King, they force it’s employees to work on this holiday. We should instead be honoring the man who led our nation into a more just way of thinking and loving each other. We have a lot of work left to do!
