Workers for UPS, one of the largest shipping companies in the world, are gearing up for a strike.
UPS workers could start a work stoppage on August 1.
Union members at Lexington’s shipping center spent Tuesday morning getting ready. Teamsters Local 651 President James Brant tells us they represent 2,200 UPS workers across central and eastern Kentucky.
Tuesday morning, they brought their Lexington members together for a ‘practice protest’ ahead of what could be coming in the form of a nationwide strike.
Brant says a just wage is the key issue now causing the rift between union and company.
“During the pandemic, this company made record profits - billions,” said Brant. “The split is with the part-timers right now. They don’t want to pay part-timers a living wage. Part-timers are having to work two and three jobs to pay their bills. A phone call could resolve this.”
Teamsters also took issue with a lack of full-time opportunities and, until a tentative deal was reached last month, Brant says UPS resisted putting air conditioning in their trucks.
“We had package drivers overheating because of the heat, with no A/C,” said Brant.
