Luigi Morris, a part-time UPS worker based in New York, shared how he is unhappy with UPS' poor working conditions and low wages ahead of a looming strike.
workers nationwide have been voting over the last week on whether to authorize a strike if their union – the International Brotherhood of Teamsters – does not reach a new contract with UPS by August 1. The results of the strike authorization vote will be released Friday and is expected to pass.
The strike authorization vote is a"tool for the union to have more power in the negotiation," Morris said."We work hard, we make things work. So UPS should do their own part, so we can keep bringing this service to the community."UPS and Teamsters – a union that represents more than 340,000 UPS workers – have been negotiating a new contract since April after many UPS employees expressed their displeasure with the 2018 contract and the company's working conditions.
"This vote is a routine part of the bargaining process and does not mean that there will be a strike," the statement read."We respect this step in the process and remain committed to making progress at the bargaining table."
