“Congratulations to the International Brotherhood of Teamsters and their 340,000 members for securing a well-deserved and historic contract agreement with UPS that will deliver fair pay and benefits to these frontline workers. As the daughter of a longtime Teamster who drove an 18-wheeler for UPS, I’m proud to support the labor unions and workers who are essential to our city and nation’s daily operations. This tentative deal is a major victory that will result in historic wage increases, improved workplace protections, and the creation of new job opportunities, while ensuring that customers who rely on the safe, reliable transport of supplies can continue to receive service without interruption. This is a win for workers everywhere.”
