Utah’s House and Senate Democrats Endorse Labor Rights and Stand in Support of the UPS Teamsters
“We support the 340,000 UPS Teamsters nationwide, practicing their right to collectively bargain for fair wages, safe working conditions, affordable health care, and dignified retirement. Each UPS employee, regardless of their part-time or full-time status, deserves to be compensated fairly for their work. In Utah alone, there are 2,600 Teamsters whose wages and benefits have not kept up with inflation. We support their reasonable demands for fair compensation and benefits, and we are inspired by their part in reigniting the labor movement. Their actions will help set and raise standards for workers nationwide, encouraging growth and essential benefits for living wage jobs. The UPS Teamsters are demonstrating the power of labor and the importance of the right for workers to unionize. We applaud the tentative agreement reached today to ensure the well-being and job satisfaction of workers is championed—the purposeful determination of the Teamsters and the UPS community will help create a more equitable future for all.”
