Summary
Teamsters are set to take on UPS in a high-stakes contract battle over the use of Roadie, alleging the company is illegally shifting work to non-union gig drivers — a move they say undermines bargaining power. While UPS insists it’s compliant and handles all deliveries through its own drivers, the union argues Roadie’s same-day and oversized package deliveries are stealing work from union members. With a new arbitrator in place and union leadership locked in, this showdown could reshape labor dynamics in last-mile delivery — especially as Teamsters president Sean OBrien seeks another term to push enforcement.
