UPS is feeling the pressure FIRED 250


When 250 UPS drivers got pink slips, over 80,000 supporters (and counting!) joined with us to tell UPS to stop retaliating against their workers.

The fight's not over. UPS wants this to go away quietly, but they aren't willing to rescind these drivers' pink slips. So this Friday, we'll deliver the petition signatures with the UPS workers and local elected officials to increase the pressure on UPS.

Can you help grow our support to 100,000 before the delivery?

Spread the word by sharing this petition with your friends on facebook. Click here!

Or spread the word on Twitter: Tweet: "TELL @UPS: Firing 250 workers for protesting unfair treatment of a co-worker is wrong. Join 80,000 people in protest! http://ctt.ec/eSVHk+"

Social media is one of our best tools for activism. But we know not everyone is on facebook. If you're not on social media you can still help by forwarding the email below to your friends.

Thanks for all the work you do,

Joe Dinkin
