IBT STATEMENT ON WORKERS MEMORIAL DAY 2021

The pandemic has challenged workers throughout North America. For our 200,000 Teamster Public Services Division members, it has meant hard work and sacrifice.

Every year on April 28,…

A Letter to Local 769 Members at UPS

As your Local Union, we have recognized the tremendous volume increases at UPS, and we acknowledge the long weeks and hours each one of you have been working.
