Workers at the United Parcel Service (UPS) package centers in Vermont are accusing their employer of violating state family and medical leave laws. They allege that UPS used their paid time off without their consent, thereby unlawfully reducing the number of paid days they can take off. These claims have prompted action from the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, the labor union representing the workers, and may soon draw a response from the Vermont attorney general’s office. UPS has responded by stating that the company was aware of the issue and was taking steps to correct the situation to prevent such problems in the future.

Given the complexity and severity of these allegations, employees affected by similar issues might need to contact organizations in charge of implementing family leave policies or laws for guidance or intervention.
