UPS Teamsters in barns across the nation are uniting to enforce our contractually guaranteed heat protections, like Article 18, which guarantee heat safety breaks.

When 3 UPS drivers in Dallas suffered serious heat-related incidents in 3 days this summer, management refused to respond or help.

In Texas and across the country, Teamsters are fighting back to ensure that UPS delivers on contractually promised heat protections. By enforcing the contract, heat-related injuries at UPS have already significantly declined. We must do everything in our power to ensure all 340,000 UPS Teamsters are safe from extreme heat.

Every year, rank-and-file Teamsters from across North America come together for the Teamsters Women’s Conference to share their experiences, learn from one another, and talk about the issues shaping their workplaces.

During the closing plenary, a panel of Teamsters women working in non-traditional industries took the stage to talk about what it takes to succeed in workplaces where women have historically been underrepresented — and why having more women at the table makes the Teamsters Union stronger. Here is their full conversation:

ILLINOIS FOREST PRESERVES TEAMSTERS FORCED TO STRIKE 🌲🪧

More than 200 members of Teamsters Local 700 working for the Forest Preserve District in Cook County, Illinois, were forced to launch a strike earlier this week. These essential public sector workers who clear roads, maintain equipment, and keep the preserves open to the public are demanding a contract that closes the wage gap, making their pay comparable to other public sector workers in the county.

Forst Preserve Teamsters will be on the picket line until a fair contract is reached.
