  • Jacksonville UPS workers demand end to abuse

    UPS should be hiring more drivers, package handlers or whatever it needs to support higher package volumes.

    Teamsters in Jacksonville call for end to workplace ’abuse’ at local UPS center
    Some UPS drivers say they’ve reached their breaking point and they’re calling for an end to what they say is “abuse” by management.

    Members of the union representing drivers, along with drivers’ wives, local activists and a city councilman took the steps of Jacksonville City Hall on Monday making demands of UPS managers.

    Dave Schneider, a UPS package driver and shop steward, said local UPS drivers are being subjected to what he calls workplace abuse. He said they’re forced to work long hours, six days a week, and they fear retaliation if they try to speak up.

    “We want an end to the abuse package drivers have seen here in Jacksonville,” Schneider said. “The cruelty of UPS managers here in Jacksonville has been under full display whenever drivers file grievances over excessive overtime or safety issues or threaten or intimidate. We have seen that they are subjected then to harassment to the over-supervision to surveillance to threats and intimidation and too retaliation.”
