UPS, UPS Freight Members Authorize Strikes, If Necessary - UPS Rising

Glad it came thru with strong numbers. Just wish they released the actual number of votes that came in.

They cannot release those numbers until after a tentative agreement is voted on and approved. If the vote numbers were released and they were hella low, UPS could use that against the union as a union busting move.

Good use of the word "hella"

Never looked at it like that, very valid point. I guess all we can hope for is that the numbers were high and the good judgement is used when the contract and supplements come out.

UPS, UPS Freight Members Authorize Strikes, If Necessary - UPS Rising

Just curious, in all the contracts between UPS and the Teamsters, has the membership ever voted NOT to give Teamster leadership strike authorization?

I believe we only started these strike preemptive authorizations in 1997.
93% is a huge margin.

I also believe that the membership has never voted down a contract proposal that the Union endorsed, and never voted yes on a proposal the Union opposed... nationwide.

So UPS would be well advised to work out a deal that the Union leadership can claim is a big win for the Union. There is a great deal of pressure for a good contract. Union leadership jobs are at stake. This is not an ordinary contract.
