'We've organized, strategized, now it's time to pulverize,' says Teamsters union president ahead of looming UPS strike | CNN Business

Speaking with CNN’s Isabel Rosales, O’Brien said 95% of the contract has been negotiated, and “now we’re down to economics, and UPS knows they need to pay our members, especially the part-timers.” A UPS spokesperson has said part-timers receive the same benefits as full-time workers. However, they do make less than full-time employees who make, on average, $95,000 a year, as CNN previously reported. Part-timers start by earning $16.

“So, the [UPS] supply chain solutions will take a huge hit.” According to O’Brien, a strike would be felt both domestically and internationally. He claims “because the pilots union that represents the pilots for UPS have committed to us that they will not turn a wheel if the teamsters go on strike.” Part-time package handler Elizabeth Laster told CNN Saturday she’s willing to go without pay if the strike takes place.
