Labor Relations Radio, E91—A rank and file Teamster explains what the media is not covering about the new UPS contract

Episode Summary: While the nation was relieved that the Teamsters and United Parcel Service (UPS) reached a contract without a debilitating strike, a group of rank and file Teamsters had been vocally opposed to the “sell out” deal.

In this episode of Labor Relations Radio, host Peter List is joined by ‘Jay,’ a rank and file Teamster employed by UPS, to discuss how, from many UPS workers’ point of view, the new contract is not nearly as good as the media is portraying.
