Strike called off at UPS Camden depot

The union Unite has informed Post&Parcel that the strikes scheduled for Wednesday (7 December) and Friday (9 December) by UPS parcel workers at the delivery firm’s Camden depot have been called off. According to Unite, over 140 workers at the depot “had been readying themselves to go on strike over alleged bullying, harassment and racism”, but called their action off after the union “secured significant commitments from UPS during talks”.

Unite said that the agreement includes a no forced overtime clause, “as well as guarantees by the company to work with Unite to tackle racism and commitments to leadership training”.

Unite regional officer Onay Kasab added that UPS has “agreed to work with Unite to tackle racism and bullying and create a work environment based on dignity and respect”.
