Rally/Press Conference at UPS: Demand Reinstatement & Respect for Fired Essential Workers
Local 804 Teamsters will rally and hold a press conference at UPS to demand reinstatement and respect for ten essential workers who were wrongfully fired for declining voluntary overtime. Join us at UPS at 13640 Springfield Boulevard in Queens on Wednesday, April 28 at 11 am.
Tell UPS: Respect Essential Workers!
The fight is on at the Laurelton building where UPS management has fired 10 part-timers in violation of the contract and basic human decency. We are united, the public is behind us, and we will win the reinstatement of our fired members.

Teamsters Now, Teamsters Forever
A union panel has found former Local 804 officers not guilty of the charges against them and reversed the suspensions from Teamster membership of Tim Sylvester and Jim Reynolds.
Lower Co-Pays & Other Health & Welfare Benefit Improvements
The Union and company Trustees on the Health and Welfare fund have agreed to benefit improvements without going to arbitration. Effective March 1, 2021 the copay will be reduced to $10, including for retirees.
Dental implants have been approved through in-network Blue Cross dentists at the rate of two per year at no cost to members. This includes bone grafts if necessary, and anesthesia. Retirees are eligible for the in-network discount at in-network Blue Cross dentists.
As soon as COVID vaccines are made available, Local 804 members and their immediate families will have zero copay.
Local 804 will constantly look to improve benefits for our active and retired members. We look forward to more improvements and the continued growth of the Health and Welfare fund.
One Union-One Goal.
