These agreements are a form of collusion by the teamsters bureaucracy to break the upcoming strike and save the employers' asses. They write: "UPS came dangerously close to putting itself on strike, but we kept firm on our demands." those two pieces of the sentence don't match that well, do they? If the union kept firm, then the strike would have happened. It should read: "UPS came dangerously close to putting itself on strike, but we gave up on the workers' demands." The corrupt union leadership knows that with a strike, there would be even more rank-and-file pressure against a sellout deal, especially if workers organize for collective disruptions while striking. The Teamsters leadership has just done something very similar at Yellow, a few years ago, see coverage here: https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2023/07/25/yell-j25.html https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2023/07/25/yell-j25.html
