One Worker's Story at UPS

Domenick DeDomenico, 40, was fired by UPS for joining 249 other drivers and refusing to work for 90 minutes on the morning of February 26th. They did this in solidarity with another driver who was fired for a minor infraction. DeDomenico spoke at Teamster Local 804's Thursday rally at City Hall, and explained that he had come back to work shortly before the job action after being out for nearly a year after being hit by a car while doing his job of delivering packages. The company said that his productivity had declined from 13 packages an hour to 12, and that he was slated to be fired even before participating in the job action.
