How long do I have to file a grievance at UPS?

Most supplements require a grievance to be filed within 5 to 10 working days of the incident.

The grievance procedure under the UPS National Master Agreement requires written filing within a fixed window after the incident or the date you knew (or should have known) about it. The window is usually 5 to 10 working days, set in your supplement, not the national.

Missing the window is the single most common reason grievances get denied at hearing. If you think you have a grievance, talk to your steward immediately — don't wait. Ask TeamstersGPT with your supplement selected for the exact filing window, the hearing steps, and the time limits at each step.
