United Parcel Service Inc. has agreed to provide unionized
workers up to 10 days of paid leave if they are directly impacted
by the new coronavirus, according to a copy of the agreement
reviewed by The Wall Street Journal.
The agreement with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters
covers nearly 300,000 full and part-time workers, including
drivers, package handlers and mechanics. The new leave policy was
agreed to on Wednesday and is in effect until the national
emergency is lifted.
It applies to workers who either are diagnosed with the virus or
who are required to be quarantined by a public health official,
doctor or the company. Workers whose household members are
diagnosed with the virus and are required to be quarantined will
also be allowed to collect the paid leave.
Employees must provide proof of their diagnosis or requirement
to quarantine. UPS and Teamsters leaders have agreed to keep
meeting to discuss any other changes that need to be made as the
response to the pandemic evolves.
