(RICHMOND, Va.) UPS Teamsters are currently engaged in a crucial strike authorization vote to empower their international bargaining committee in negotiating the best possible contract. The vote, which began on Friday, is set to conclude on Thursday, June 15th.
During this period, members of Teamsters Local 322 are encouraged to participate in the vote and cast their ballots in favor of a "Yes" vote. By doing so, they will provide the bargaining committee with the necessary leverage to secure the best contract possible during the UPS National Agreement negotiations.
To facilitate the voting process, several locations have been designated for members to cast their ballots.
