UPS workers, along with all workers, unquestionably deserve a fair share, if not the entirety, of the value they generate for their employers. Unfortunately, our existing systems often fall short in recognizing this fundamental principle. However, one powerful recourse available to them is the exercise of their rights as workers and union members through strikes. The strike is commonly regarded as the union's most potent tool, akin to a muscle that atrophies if left dormant. To forge a better future, we must actively encourage greater union participation and urgently pass the PRO Act to safeguard workers' rights.
