On behalf of UPS employees and retirees, the following is a statement from UPS Chief Executive Officer, Carol Tomé.
“The city of Atlanta, this nation, and the rest of the world mourns the loss of the iconic John Robert Lewis. Congressman Lewis was a tireless champion in the Civil Rights movement, whose never-ending fight for equality and justice improved the lives of millions of Americans. He was a kind and decent man who always had kind and decent words for the employees of UPS. Congressman Lewis led by example and embodied the very best of America’s ideals.
