Roadmap for where negotiations are headed in my recent story . . . freightwaves.com/news/teamst…
Teamsters General President Sean M. O’Brien walked the belts and met with hundreds of rank-and-filers at UPS in Miami this morning, discussing heightened contract enforcement efforts and the future contract campaign with UPS.
O’Brien reminded Florida Teamsters that winning a strong contract at UPS is only half the battle. Members must stay up to date on their rights, enforce the contract, and help hold UPS accountable when the company violates it. He also emphasized that the current contract has set strong new standards at UPS, which will be built upon and further expanded in the years ahead.
“On August 1, 2027 — less than one full year from today — we will formally kick off the next campaign at UPS,” O’Brien said. “If you thought the last contract was historic, just wait and see what we have in store for UPS in 2028. The next UPS campaign is already taking shape — and UPS Teamsters are going into 2028 with the experience, organization, and militancy to demand more.”
