UPS Lays Off 35 Newly Organized Workers, Teamsters Union Alleges Unfair Practices

Union warns of potential strike if issues are not addressed, UPS denies any wrongdoing.

UPS has laid off about 35 newly organized workers at its Louisville Centennial Hub, according to the Teamsters union.
The affected workers had recently organized with Teamsters Local 89.
UPS maintains that the layoffs are a result of matching staffing with business needs and denies committing any unfair labor practices.
Teamsters General President Sean O'Brien alleges that UPS laid off the workers despite an independent arbitrator's ruling and falsely claimed their work should be performed by management.
O'Brien warns of a potential strike if UPS does not address the issue, stating the union will not hesitate to act.
