Get #StrikeReady this Week!!!🌹⚡️

Hey Comrade,

 

Are you Strike Ready?⚡️ We've got less than TWO Weeks left until the UPS Teamsters contract expires at midnight on July 31st! If UPS fails to deliver on workers' demands for higher part-time wages, the Teamsters will launch the largest private-sector strike in decades.

Atlanta DSA is committing to support Teamsters in this historic fight, and you can help! We've been joining UPS Teamsters at practice pickets all around metro-Atlanta, raising funds for the picket line, and more! You can help out by signing #StrikeReady pledge and commit to join UPS workers on the picket line when the time comes.

 

We've got big news this week! We've put together a roundup of ways you can help over 340,000 Teamsters win the respect they deserve. Read more below!
