The Political Heart of the Working Class

By Ryan Boyd, Day Ramp Steward

With the US presidential election around the corner it’s probably worth saying a few words about where workers' rights fit into the political equation. First, it’s undeniable that unions are political. The beginnings of the modern union movement can be traced back to a time when people had virtually no rights in the workplace, and the gradual attainment of rights was only possible through struggle.

MONDAY, OCTOBER 19, 2020 – At 6:30 AM near Front and Oregon Avenue Teamsters Local 623 members gathered around a 15 foot tall inflatable that the Union calls "Concessions the Cat." The Union is protesting a new policy at UPS that will raise the wages of newly hired temporary workers at one facility without providing raises to any other workers. "Split wages, split unions!" shouted Business Agent Tom "Tiny" Callan alongside UPS tractor-trailer drivers, package car drivers, and warehouse workers.

UPS has posted soaring stock prices and billion dollar profits, but the Company has refused to provide hazard pay or raise wages for Union members who have worked through the pandemic.
