July 30, 2009 - IAM members at United Parcel Service (UPS) voted by an 82 percent margin to approve a new contract that covers approximately 3,200 maintenance workers at 33 locations across the United States.
The new five-year agreement includes annual wage increases, improved pension contributions, eligibility for the IAM 401(k) plan and improved tool allowances. Members’ health care benefits under the new agreement will remain intact.
“This agreement is a credit to the solidarity of our members and the hard work of our negotiating committee and UPS to find a way to increase wages and benefits during these tough economic times,” said IAM Automotive Department Director Boysen Anderson.
