UPS Teamsters Call to Action Digital Toolkit

The International has assembled the following toolkit of materials for local unions to use at rallies, parking lot meetings, and leafletting actions at UPS locations beginning August 1, 2022. Locals will also receive palm cards promoting the new UPS Teamsters app, along with UPS Teamster pens and rubber bracelets to distribute to members.

These files can be sent to any local printer. If you need help finding a local printer, click here to use the Graphic Communications Conference “Find a Union Printer” tool.

The following guidelines for printing should be shared with the printer you use:
• Sign size: 24” x 18” and 18″ x 12″
• Each sign – six in total – is double-sided
• The signs are full color, full bleed

Your local can decide to print all available signs or only select the ones you think will make the biggest impact with your UPS members. Let the printer know the quantity you need printed for each sign.

  • UPS Teamsters are united in our fight for a strong contract in 2023.
  • Fighting for a strong Teamster contract at UPS is a battle for job security, more full-time jobs, and a better life for workers across America.
  • UPS Teamsters have been working PEAK hours for more than two years straight. And UPS profits increased $11.2 billion!
  • Before the last Teamster contract was negotiated in 2018, UPS made $4.9 billion. Last year, UPS profits were more than $12.8 billion.  
  • UPS overworks its current employees so it doesn’t have to pay benefits and pensions to more workers. To meet quotas, employees are forced to work up to 12-hour days through COVID and extreme heat.
  • The Teamsters are here to show UPS we’re in this together — full-time package drivers, inside part-time workers, feeder drivers, mechanics, air drivers.
  • UPS Teamsters are subjected to constant harassment by management. Managers constantly try to divide us based on discriminatory wage schemes. We are not going to allow UPS to use bad managers and predatory cameras and sensors to dehumanize us and strip away the dignity of our jobs.
  • Teamsters are the hardest working people in the country, and we are standing up to end two-tier wages for package drivers, excessive overtime, subcontracting, and poverty wages for part-time workers.
  • This contract fight is about hard work being rewarded with a better life for all UPS Teamsters and our families.
  • With the nation’s largest union contract at stake, UPS Teamsters are mobilized. We have the power of a new militant Teamsters Union behind us. Together, we will end the concessions, win a stronger contract, and protect good jobs in America.

Today, our local – together with UPS Teamsters all across the country – is kicking off the campaign for a strong contract in 2023. UPS’s profits have increased by more than $11 billion in the last two years thanks to hardworking rank-and-file Teamsters. Our members worked through COVID and have endured non-stop peak workloads. The time is now to take what it ours – to collect our fair share of the success that our members made possible. We are mobilizing and building the movement to win the contract that our members deserve. And we are sending a message to the company that UPS workers are united as one, including full-time package drivers, inside part-time workers, feeder drivers, mechanics, and air drivers. Together we will take on this fight, stand up for good jobs, end the concessions, and win a strong contract for UPS Teamsters in 2023.
