Summary

Briahna speaks with two UPS workers, Luigi Morris and Greg Kerwood, and Teddy Ostrow, a journalist who has been covering the labor dispute between the Teamsters and management, about the two-tiered wage system, substandard working conditions, and other work place issues that have led UPS workers to the brink of a strike. With 350,000 workers, a UPS strike would be the largest strike against a single employer in US history. Learn what's at stake and what the left can do to support UPS workers.
