In a groundbreaking development for UPS Inc., Teamsters local unions, representing 340,000 full- and part-time UPS workers, have voted overwhelmingly in favor (161-1) to endorse a tentative five-year agreement with the company. The key figures of this landmark agreement include:
The total contract value is a staggering $30 billion.
The benefits include significant wage increases for the entire duration of the contract.
The end of the contentious two-tier wage system.
Air conditioning will be a standard feature in new vehicles.
Martin Luther King Day becomes a paid holiday for the first time.
Measures to avoid forced overtime on days off.
This proposed agreement will now be passed to the rank-and-file for ratification.
"The entire UPS Teamsters National Negotiating Committee stands behind this historic contract and our UPS local unions have resoundingly voted to endorse it," said Teamsters General President Sean M. O’Brien @TeamsterSOBpic.twitter.com/0loFyYUURA
