Strike called at UPS Camden depot
The union Unite has announced that staff at UPS Parcels in central London are planning to strike for two days next week. According to a notice sent by Unite to Post&Parcel this morning (30 November), 140 Unite members at UPS’ Camden depot will strike for 24 hours on Wednesday (7 December) and Friday (9 December); both actions starting at 00.01.
“The workers voted by 85% in favour of strike action,” added Unite.
Unite said that staff at the depot are objecting to “harassment” and “bullying”.
Unite regional officer Onay Kasab claimed: “The drivers are forced to work overtime so that they can finish their deliveries. If they refuse or fail to finish deliveries, they are disciplined.
“This leads to drivers working well beyond their typical 17.00 finish time and the drivers feel forced to rush and perhaps drive faster than they should.”
