Teamsters Union Sues UPS to Block Delivery Driver Buyouts
Posted On: Feb 10, 2026
Feb. 10, 2026 | WORKERS' RIGHTS | The Teamsters union on Monday asked a federal court to stop UPS from initiating a second voluntary buyout program for package car drivers, saying the effort to eliminate jobs violates their national contract. …UPS has notified the union it intends to announce a voluntary separation program, called Driver Choice, this week, the Teamsters said in a news release. …The Teamsters argue the Driver Choice Program violates the union contract because it wasn’t negotiated, and any program that changes the terms of employment, such as compensation and separation, must be bargained with the union. Freightwaves
