Template:TOCnestleft Joe Allen has been a socialist for over four decades and a member of Democratic Socialists of America since 2018. I’ve been most active in the Labor Working Group but recently joined the Environmental Justice Working Group to work on the ‘Democratize ComEd’ campaign.
My work life has largely revolved different sections of the freight and logistics including for such major employers as A.P.A Transport (Canton, Mass.), Yellow Freight (Maspeth, NY), and United Parcel Service (UPS). I worked for nearly a decade at UPS between its Watertown, Massachusetts and Chicago, Illinois Jefferson Street hubs. Starting out as a part-time loader I worked his way through a series of part-time sorting and driving jobs until his final year at UPS where I was a package car driver in Chicago's Loop.
My journalism and books reflect the importance I place on key issues that I believe that the socialist movement faces in the United States: U.S. imperialism, racism, political defense campaigns, reforming the Teamsters, organizing the logistics industry, and fighting the far right.[1]
Joe Allen is the author of The Package King: A Rank and File History of United Parcel Service People Wasn't Made to Burn (Haymarket Books, 2011) and Vietnam: The (Last) War the U.S. Lost (Haymarket Books, 2008), and has written several articles for the International Socialist Review.
