TEAMSTERS LOCAL 340 RALLIES AGAINST EXCESSIVE OVERTIME
Teamsters Local 340 members at the UPS center in Auburn, Maine. The members rallied outside the center and were joined by the Joint Council 10 truck and organizers.
Since the pandemic a state of “permanent peak” has been in effect in Maine. Instead of fixing the problem, the company has not kept up with its obligation to properly staff its operation. Instead it has burdened workers with dangerously excessive overtime and workloads.
“We have tried to deal with UPS at the table. But they continue to ignore our concerns,” said Brett Miller, Teamsters Local 340. “Today’s rally is just a first step that will be taken in order to force the company to deal with this serious problem.”
