UPS Teamsters Practice Picket
Teamsters Local 89 held a "practice picket" outside UPS Worldport on June 28, 2023. The union is holding demonstrations around the country as it threatens to walk out on Aug. 1 if an agreement is not reached on a new, five-year labor contract with UPS. The Teamsters represent about 340,000 rank-and-file UPS workers such as package handlers and package car drivers. (Photo by Chris Otts, WDRB News)
