Following the recent lead of their brethren in Memphis, Tenn., UPS Freight workers in three metro Atlanta terminals are planning to join the Teamsters.
A majority of about 360 workers at the UPS Freight terminals in Atlanta, Lawrenceville and Marietta signed authorization cards to become Teamsters, Teamsters General President Jim Hoffa said Tuesday. Their move brings the total number of drivers and dockworkers planning to join the union to about 3,200 since Jan. 16.
The Georgia workers want to join Local 728 in Atlanta.
UPS Freight, formerly Overnite Transportation, is a unit of Atlanta-based United Parcel Service Inc.
