We are assisting UPS and other freight, delivery and logistics workers to build a network of rank-and-file committees, connected with workers in other key sections of industry. Contact us today to join the UPS Workers Rank-and-File Committee.
News, analysis, and a fighting perspective for autoworkers, delivered to your inbox.
Roberts is the latest in a series of UPS workers to die on the job, as the company carries out a massive restructuring effort which has axed tens of thousands of jobs.
These developments further expose the Teamsters’ so-called “historic” 2023 contract as a historic sellout.
UPS has eliminated the Midnight shift at its Manhattan hub, forcing full-time workers onto split shifts with five to six unpaid hours between them—too short for many to travel home and sleep. Workers sleep in the cafeteria, wander the streets and, in some cases, remain cut off from their families, while Teamsters officials reject collective action against the restructuring.
As of publication, neither Teamsters Local 384, the Teamsters national union, nor its Package Division have issued a public statement on the death.
The WSWS UPS Workers Newsletter is assisting workers in the building of a network of interconnected rank-and-file committees, connected with workers in other key sections of industry.
Fill out this form to be contacted by someone from the WSWS UPS Workers Newsletter and the Socialist Equality Party about joining the committee nearest you. If a committee at your workplace does not exist, we will help you build one.
