Member Concerns About Working Conditions Discussed February 7, 2007 On February 1, the Teamsters National UPS Negotiating Committee wrapped up two weeks of contract talks with UPS, focusing on non-economic issues related to working conditions. Starting on January 22, the two sides met daily from Monday through Thursday, outside Washington, D.C. The union’s negotiators discussed a number of issues relating to working conditions. Many of the topics on the table during the past two weeks were identified as priorities by members in both surveys and during an August 2006 rank-and-file meeting, including the company’s implementation of technological changes and excessive overtime. The union’s Safety and Health Committee also convened and exchanged proposals with the company. “We plan on continuing with our aggressive bargaining schedule to discuss workplace issues that concern our members. By doing this, we can move forward and spend more time discussing economic issues such as pensions, health and welfare,” said Ken Hall, Director of the Teamsters Parcel and Small Package Division and co-chairman of the Negotiating Committee. |
