El Paso UPS employees demonstrate as part of nationwide strike
EL PASO, Texas (KVIA) -- El Paso UPS employees are demonstrating in East El Paso as part of plans for a nationwide strike.
Local unionized workers are gathered outside a UPS center, demanding better working conditions and other concessions from the company.
Video shows several dozen people, apparently drivers and other employees, holding signs, waving flags, and yelling.
UPS provided the following statement to ABC-7.
"We are making steady progress in our negotiations with the Teamsters on a wide array of issues. Even so, we are not surprised to see some union members making their voices heard. We plan and expect to reach agreement on a new contract before the end of July that is a win for our employees, our company and customers, and the union."
