Due to the Coronavirus our PUPS May meeting and July Annual Picnic are canceled. We are following the state and federal guidelines about social gath-ering. As a result we will not be gathering at all for the time being, also most of us retirees are vulnerable and at risk of catching Covid-19.

The cancelled picnic will be postponed until a later date. We are looking at possibly having the Annual Picnic this September. This is PUPS 25 Anniver-sary and we wanted to have a huge, enormous, celebration, commemorating PUPS and recognizing the accomplishments made by many members over the years.

Also, Chairman Jim Woods has put together some informational videos that

can be viewed on our web site at: http://pupsinc.homestead.com

The executive board of officers made a decision that because of the issues of the day PUPS will not be collecting dues this year. So, current members will have 1 year of membership free for 2020.

The May 17, 2020 7Local 705 General Membership Meet-ing is canceled.

The May Local 710 Membership Meeting is canceled.

Succumb March 29, 2020 to COVID-19

The Teamsters UPS and UPS Freight National Negotiating Committees and UPS have reached an agreement to protect members at UPS and UPS Freight who may be affected by the Coronavirus (COVID-19).

In summary, the agreement provides for paid leave for any worker who is diagnosed with COVID-19 and is required to be quarantined or if they are quarantined due to a family member’s illness.

While on leave, the pay will be:

• 8 hours per work day for a Full-Time employee, max of 10 work days;

• For UPS workers only: 3.5 hours per work day for a Part-Time employee, max of 10 work days;

• *For UPS Freight workers only: 4 hours per work day for Part-Time employee, max of 10 work days.

• **For UPS CSI part-time employees, your local addenda guarantee will be applied.

• Health and Welfare and Pension contributions will be made as required by the supplement for these hours;

• If an employee self-quarantines, uses paid time off (PTO), and is later diagnosed with COVID-19, the company will re-populate the Paid-Time-Off up to the 80/35 hours. Further, any employee directly impacted by the virus and missing work as set forth above will not have those days count-ed as an attendance infraction.

Teamsters, UPS Agree to COVID-19 MOU

The time has come for biological wars ...

The Coronavirus traveled all over the world from Wuhan, but somehow did not make it to Beijing or Shanghai. Beijing has 22.5 million and Shanghai has 24 million people compared to New York City which has 8 million. New York City has 143,000 cases of Covid-19 and until recently Beijing has 39 and Shanghai 300...can anyone explain that?

There are so many questions, after all, where it all started, in China, the Chinese stock market did not collapse, but the American and European markets did - and when those markets collapsed, the Chi-nese bought big. All roads lead back to China ...

1. They created a virus for which they already had an antidote. 2. They purposely spread the virus for financial gain. 3. There is a clear demonstration of efficiency …

they built hospitals in a few days. They had to

be prepared with the organized projects ... With

the ordering of the equipment, the hiring of labor, the water and sewage network, the prefabricated

building materials and the storage in an impres-

sive volume, it all happened very quickly. 4. They caused chaos in the world, beginning with

Europe and the rest of the western worlds. 5. Quickly decimating the economies of dozens of countries. 6. Stop production and manufacturing lines in factories and primary production in dozens of countries. 7. Causing the stock markets to crash and then they bought stocks, bonds and companies at bargain prices. 8. They then quickly gained control of the epidemic in their country. After all, they were

ready and they were never really out of control. 9. In all this, they managed to lower the price of basic products, including the price of oil. 10. Now they are going back to mass production

while the rest of the world is stopped.

Also note how quickly Chinese unions activated to "hoard" purchases of bus cargo to regional shop-ping centers across Australia, stripping our shelves of toilet paper and staple foods. It happened before

most of us knew what was happening, even before we knew what the Coronavirus was.

Just think about this ...

How come Russia and North Korea are almost to-tally free of Covid-19?

Because they are strong allies of China. The lowest reported cases of Covid-19 are from these 2 coun-tries. On the other hand, South Korea / United Kingdom / Italy / Spain and Asia are seriously af-fected. And how is it that Wuhan is suddenly free from the deadly virus? China will say that its initial drastic measures they took were very severe and that Wuhan was locked up to contain the spread to other areas. I'm sure they are using the virus anti-dote that was already available before they re-leased it. Why was Beijing not affected at all?

And another interesting fact ... Chinese President Xi Jinping visited Wuhan at the peak of the out-break ... why did he put on a simple RM1 face mask to visit those affected areas? As president, should-n't you have been covered from head to toe in a hazardous materials suit? Perhaps because the antidote had already been injected, there was no need to worry?

China adds restrictions to Covid-19 research and publication.

Just released yesterday by CNN…Under the new policy, all academic papers on Covid-19 will be sub-ject to extra vetting before being submitted for publi-cation. Studies on the origin of the virus will receive extra scrutiny and must be approved by central gov-ernment officials.

In my opinion there is doubt that this is a biological warfare. And the world will be so different when this crisis calms down. Maybe this is just stage one ... And China really takes over the world.

Was this virus intentionally started by the Chinese? Or is this just a conspiracy theory, You decide….
