The International Union has launched a national training program to prepare rank-and-file members to win the strongest contract in UPS history. The Members are trained in the tools they need to build effective Contract Action Teams in their respective local. In conjunction with the contract awareness training being offered by the IBT a regional training session was held at the Harrisburg Union Hall on Sunday, April 30, 2023. Sunday’s training was one of dozens of contract action team training sessions being held all over the country. Teamster trainers and organizers fan out to cities in every region as part of this national training program. The training is preparing thousands of UPS Teamsters to get organized and take action for higher wages, improved benefits, and stronger rights

Rank-and-file UPS Teamsters from across the state and Maryland spent Sunday in Harrisburg learning to build contract action teams and mobilize members for a strong contract. The training featured information about the bargaining process and resources that will help participants build effective communication networks among workers. The participants heard from organizers and trainers about the bargaining process. They learned strategies for mobilizing their co-workers, how to map their workplace and build communications networks.

Winning the contract the Members deserve is not a spectator sport. Every member must be engaged, educated, and motivated in this fight.  To make UPS deliver on the members’ demands, we need Teamsters in every UPS local nationwide who are ready to take action with their brothers and sisters.
