I'm confused, are the Teamsters the de-facto union for all UPS employees? The article doesn't say if there's other unions that represent UPS employees..
The Teamsters represent more than 340,000 UPS package delivery drivers and warehouse logistics workers nationwide.
What's the number of UPS employees that:
- are unionized and won't be striking?
- are not unionized and won't be striking?
Ups states 70% of its employees are union members so that would leave about 146.000 members not unionized, though UPS handles about 6-7% of gdp in the US daily, that would be bad news bears for the US economy. Afaik UPS only has one Union and thats the Teamsters, so if they strike, all 340k strike.
Heres a good explanation of the situation and recent history,

That's great news, thanks. I read that would be the largest single-employer strike in US history.
Hopefully Biden won't do to them what Regan did to the Air Traffic Controllers, "essential Amazon" and all.
Use to work there, they over worked the fuck out of us under the current contract
this is encouraging to hear
The teamsters union is great, from what I've heard. :)
So many key workers in big industries voting for nationwide strike in the USA. WGA/SAG, Rail and now these lads. Am I deluded into thinking a General Cross-Profession Strike is on the horizon? Is Freedomnia having a 1905 moment?
