Rank-and-file members of the Teamsters union have overwhelmingly ratified a five-year deal with UPS, putting an end to the threat of a crippling strike.
The union said 86% of members had voted for the five-year contract, which will now be in effect retroactive to August 1. It was the largest margin in favor of a contract ever at the company, the Teamsters said. And the union said a record 58% of members participated in the vote. The deal was reached on July 25, a week before the union had been set to go on strike. The ratification process has taken the four weeks since then.
And existing vans will be retrofitted with some changes to reduce the heat in the cargo area, where temperatures can pose the greatest threat. There was one union local in Miami that did not approve the supplemental agreement that applied only to the 174 members there. O’Brien said he expects to negotiate a new deal for those workers by this weekend. The full national agreement can not go into effect until that new local deal is reached and ratified.
