Rebuilding Local 804 Power

IB ImageMessage From Your President

Employers are taking advantage of the tough economy to put the squeeze on working Teamsters.

UPS recently announced that it hauled in $533 million in profits in the first quarter.  That’s a 33 percent leap in profits compared to last year. Volume is up too. But you would never know it from management. They are riding Local 804 members harder than ever.
