Ep. 34 - Class Struggle Unionism and the Tentative Agreement at UPS https://tankie.tube/videos/watch/df0fa265-9b57-4ab4-82ca-456801766e6c On Tuesday, July 25, the Teamsters reached a tentative agreement for the UPS 2023-2028 contract which covers 340,000 workers across the country. The agreement follows a rank-and-file campaign for a strong contract that resulted in a 97% strike authorization vote in June, and practice pickets all around the country in July in the lead up to a potential national strike on August 1. This episode is a rebroadcasting of the 2nd online forum held by the Freedom Road Socialist Organization (FRSO). This discussion involves rank and file Teamsters who have spent years fighting on the shop floor, within their unions, and on the streets leading up to this historic agreement. You'll hear about what was won, what our takeaways of this agreement should be, and their plan to continue the fight forward.
