Teamsters's video: UPS Rank-and-File Focus: George Stefanic

UPS package drivers like George, a member of Local 79 in Tampa, Fla., are focused on the need to eliminate the two-tier 22.4 classification. George also encourages his coworkers at UPS to check the app regularly for the most accurate and up-to-date information about negotiations and the contract fight. "I feel the 22.4s are being used as indentured servants. They do the same job I do, but they get paid half. They are not allowed to be on the 9.5 list, they are not allowed to bid a route. That needs to go away. All members are more engaged now, based on the app – the app is one of the best things informing us of anything. There's no miscommunication, and if there is miscommunication among employees you just tell them to go to the app," George says.
