A new study says just a 10-day strike could cause more than four billion dollars in losses for customers and small businesses.
A possible UPS strike could impact local deliveries if a contract can’t be negotiated between UPS and the International Brotherhood of Teamsters.
The company formerly known for running “the tightest ship in the shipping business” is on the verge of springing a leak. UPS workers are preparing to go on strike beginning August 1.
Contract negotiations between UPS and the Teamsters union have reached a deadlock, with both sides blaming each other. A strike authorization has been granted, potentially impacting UPS's operations and the US economy. The parties have struggled to reach an agreement on key issues, including the economic package.
United Parcel Service workers represented by the Teamsters voted Friday by a 97% margin to authorize a strike, which would be the biggest for a single employer in United States history.
