Did the Teamsters win this one? If so that would be a first .I am very happy for this man.

I clicked on the link and got nothing.
I could be wrong but it's my understanding that when a case goes to arbitration the local union pays the attorney fees for the member.
I think this victory is great and serves two purposes:
1) the public becomes more informed of the antics the company is capable of and;
2) it's a victory for the little guy, you know, the working slob just trying to make it through life.
I would like to know more about it.

I couldn't pull the story up either on the newspaper's website. I was wondering if this was the Package Driver who was in the paper claiming he was harrassed because UPS kept loading his Package Car backwards on purpose?

Looks like the guy was a sup. Does not mention the teamsters.
