Teamsters-UPS Reach Tentative Contract Agreement

The International Brotherhood of Teamsters (IBT) and UPS announced a tentative agreement (TA) on July 25, 2023 averting a potential national strike. The IPA Executive Board was pleased to learn of the TA.

“This has been a long, hard-fought battle for improved working conditions, as well as wages and benefits for UPS employees. We applaud General President Sean O’Brien and his team for securing what he calls a ‘historic’ TA and are heartened by the unwavering solidarity and support the IPA membership has shown for their fellow UPS employees.” said IPA President Bob Travis.

IPA President Travis spoke with President O’Brien shortly after the tentative agreement was announced and personally congratulated him and his negotiation team. The ratification process is expected to last several weeks.
