UPS and Teamsters reach “handshake agreement”
UPS and the International Brotherhood Of Teamsters have reached a “handshake agreement” for new National Master Agreement.
In a statement issued on website today (22 June), UPS said: “UPS’s goal 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 – each of these goals have been met in the new agreement. UPS is well-positioned to grow and meet the needs of its customers.
“Negotiations continue on a number of supplemental agreements that cover local work rules as well as the separate agreement that covers about 11,000 Teamsters-represented employees in the UPS Freight® network.
“The new agreements will go into effect August 1, 2018, once they are ratified by employees.
