When UPS Freight laid red-circled road drivers off in January 2020, Business Agent Spencer Dearth, with the assistance of the road stewards, went to work filing a grievance on behalf of all affected members. While processing the grievance through the grievance procedure, the Company again violated the contract in a lay-off in March/April 2020. The grievances moved through the grievance procedure with other cases filed across the country and eventually were arbitrated with grievances filed from Local 745 as the lead cases.

In July 2021, the Arbitrator ruled in favor of the Union but left the monetary claims up to the Union and Company to determine. After several conversations and discussions with the Company to make sure every affected driver was made whole,  the grievance checks were distributed on April 14^th, 2022.

UPS Freight was sold to TFI International in May 2021 and rebranded as TForce Freight.

Receiving their grievance checks with Spencer (Center) are road drivers Robert Kellner and Carissa Possemato, two of the 26 road drivers who shared the nearly $232,000.00 claim paid to the drivers at the Harrisburg terminal.
