Were 250 UPS Drivers Fired For Supporting Union?
Worker's Rights

On Feb. 26, UPS fired a Maspeth, N.Y. UPS worker known for being a union activist. In a “wildcat” protest, 250 other UPS drivers from Teamsters local 804 walked off the jobs, and it appears that UPS has fired them, too, in response. There is nothing in the news media about this, but word is starting to spread.

Check the website of Teamsters local 804 for lots of information. Teamsters for a Democratic Union also has this item on its website: “Support Growing for UPS Teamsters in NYC.”

Former Labor Secretary Robert Reich, referring to UPS, wrote “shame on them” on his Facebook page.
