The deadline for the International Brotherhood of Teamsters and United Parcel Service to agree on a national contract is fast approaching, and the Teamsters are preparing to fight for their demands, even if it means going on one of the largest labor strikes in US history. The Freedom Road Socialist Organization hosted a virtual forum where rank & file UPS workers spoke on their experiences working at UPS, the significance of this strike, as well as answered questions from the attendees of the forum.


Speakers:

  • Jared Hamil - Teamsters Local 396 | Los Angeles, CA
