UPS union members hold rally at Warwick hub - WPRI
Some members of a Rhode Island UPS union rallied Thursday morning outside the company’s hub in Warwick.
The goal was to raise concerns about working conditions there, which a UPS spokesperson says are unfounded.
Teamsters Local 251 business agent Matthew Maini claims the hub, which employs more than 1,800 workers, is no longer following COVID-19 safety protocols.
He claims the hub was not providing hand sanitizer or masks, and have not been cleaning or disinfecting bathrooms, vehicles, or other common areas.
“We feel that UPS should do the right thing and keep their employees safe,” Maini told 12 News earlier this week.
