UPS And International Brotherhood Of Teamsters Reach Tentative New National Master UPS Freight Agreement
July 13 2018 - 9:18AM
UPS today announced a tentative agreement for a new Master UPS
Freight Agreement with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters.
The five-year agreement, which is subject to ratification, covers
about 11,000 Teamsters-represented UPS Freight employees.
UPS’s goal for the freight and small package agreements has been
to reward the company’s employees for their contributions to its
success while enabling the business to remain flexible to meet its
customers’ needs. Meeting these goals for both the freight and
small package agreements, UPS is poised for continued growth
supported by greater flexibility to meet the needs of its
customers.
With agreements now reached for both the freight and small
package national master contracts, discussions continue for small
package supplements and local agreements. Strong progress has been
made on many local small package agreements and supplements,
including a handshake agreement covering more than 100,000
Teamster-represented UPS employees located in the Central
Conference, the Southern Conference, and Oregon / Idaho, among
others. Other local agreements and supplements continue to be
negotiated.
The new agreements will go into effect August 1, 2018, once they
are ratified by employees.
