30 October 2007
A US union has reached an agreement with one of the big four global delivery companies that will put workers’ pensions on a new footing.
The tentative deal, agreed between the ITF-affiliated Teamsters Union and UPS, offers 240,000 parcel delivery workers a five-year contract, which includes the creation of a separate pension plan for some of the workers. This would be set up once UPS withdraws from the Central States multiemployer pension plan. Among the other terms of the contract are unprecedented pension, health and welfare benefit contribution increases from UPS.
The agreement was reached 10 months before the expiry of the existing contract; local union representatives endorsed the pact on 11 October. Workers are voting on the tentative agreement between now and 20 November.
