[QUOTE="cheryl, post: 5114833, member: 1"] [URL='https://labornotes.org/blogs/2021/12/ups-drivers-stage-walk-defend-fired-co-worker'][B]UPS Drivers Stage a Walk-in to Defend a Fired Co-Worker - Labor Notes[/B][/URL] To protest the unfair firing of a co-worker, on Tuesday morning 150 UPS drivers in Chicago took a simple action: they [I]didn’t[/I] go into work early. Instead, they gathered outside with an inflatable fat cat. They grilled food, played music, and then walked in together, right on time. This departure from routine was enough to throw their management into a panic. “Every day is a battle on the shop floor over who’s got power and who doesn’t,” said driver Sean Orr, an elected shop steward in Teamsters Local 705. “Management loves to throw in our face the fact that they’ve got the power to fire. They’ve cost a lot of people precious income to prove a point." [/QUOTE]
