PITTSBURGH, Pennsylvania — Last Friday, Teamsters in practice picket lines in major cities across the country, including this one, sent a message to the United Parcel Service that they will strike if their demands are not met.
Pittsburgh Mayor Ed Gainey and Sara Innamorato, a candidate for Allegheny County’s chief executive, came together with other local Democrats and the Allegheny-Fayette County Labor Council, which represents over 100,000 workers in western Pennsylvania, and joined the Teamsters to “rally for a fair contract.” They waved signs that read “UPS TEAMSTERS JUST PRACTICING FOR A JUST CONTRACT.”Talks between the Teamsters and UPS halted in early July.
UPS is also the single largest employer in the Teamsters union and its contract is the largest private collective bargaining agreement in North America.
