On the same day President JoeBiden was endorsed historically early by a group of 17 unions, UPS workers voted by a 97% margin to authorize a strike. The vote triggered a seven-week countdown until current contracts expire on July 31.
On the same day Biden was endorsed historically early by a group of 17 unions, UPS workers voted by a 97% margin to authorize a strike."If this multibillion-dollar corporation fails to deliver on the contract that our hardworking members deserve, UPS will be striking itself," Teamsters President Sean O'Brien said in a statement."The strongest leverage our members have is their labor, and they are prepared to withhold it to ensure UPS acts accordingly.
Biden makes no bones about his strong union ties. He utters the phrase"good-paying union jobs" in nearly every speech, and union leaders often introduce him when he speaks on the road. Biden launched his 2020 presidential campaign at a Teamsters hall in Pittsburgh, with labor organizations ultimately contributing $27.5 million to back his White House bid.
Despite Biden's support, union membership has continued its decadeslong slide under his watch, falling from 35% in the 1950s to 20.1% in 1983 and to 10.1% in 2022. Private sector union membership is down to just 6%, though roughly one-third of government employees remain unionized. But failing to be seen as adequately supporting the workers could threaten crucial blue-collar union support heading into what is expected to be a tight 2024 presidential election. Former President Donald Trump made unexpected gains with blue-collar workers in 2016, helping him flip the crucial Midwestern states that propelled him to victory.
