DSA congratulates the 350,000 workers at UPS for ratifying their contract after showing their bosses and the country that they were ready to strike.
This contract includes significant wage increases, the elimination of two-tier wages for package car drivers, the installation of air conditioning in new vehicles, and the creation of thousands of new full-time warehouse jobs.
Together, these terms represent a transfer of over $30 billion in surplus value away from corporate owners and directly to 350,000 workers.
