    As negotiations continue between the Teamsters and UPS, a strike may be on the horizon. The deadline for a signed and active contract is August 1st, only a few short weeks away. Come learn how you can effectively and safely engage in important actions to support the Teamsters in their fight for a better economic deal.

    Beyond the UPS fight, local San Diego County workers continue to organize for better working conditions and also need our support. This training will build your picket line knowledge so you can support the labor movement both now and in the future.

    Standing in Solidarity with UPS Teamsters

    Every Friday morning for four months, rank-and-file UPS Teamsters have been meeting. They talk about their struggles and why their demands are necessary. Their struggle is ours. We as workers must stand with them in their fight for a better wages, better conditions, and a better life. If their demands aren’t met, they’re ready to strike on August 1, and ALL workers will stand with them. This is what democracy looks like. We were honored to be invited to this morning’s Unity Breakfast, and we are determined to support the rank and file as they organize.
