UPS workers are prepping for one of the biggest strikes in American history. We hit a Teamsters practice picket with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and hundreds of workers, who told us why 340,000 of them are ready to strike. The biggest demand? “We need to get paid.” We've been covering UPS Teamsters ahead of their looming strike deadline later this summer. If UPS fails to reach a fair deal with workers, over 300,000 workers could walk out on the largest single-employer strike in U.S. history. #ups #teamsters #strike #aoc ----- More Perfect Union is a new nonprofit media org with a mission to empower working people.

    AOC is going to be president one day, isn’t she? I truly admire her.

      Probably not. She is a good politician, but I don’t think she can overcome a lot of negativity that comes from her position.

      She is much more likely going to be Speaker of the House.

        Apparently America only elects milk toast centrists or right wing lunatics. Genuinely progressive politicians are completely out of the question.
