| A major UPS strike is looming ‐ here's what that means for your packages |
| 2023-06-30 |
| [The Hill] Tens of thousands of unionized workers for the United Parcel Service are on the verge of going on strike as negotiations between the company and the International Brotherhood of Teamsters for better benefits and working conditions reach a critical point. Workers dialed up the pressure on the shipping giant this week, demanding the company present its "best and final offer" by Friday, or it would begin the largest single employer strike in decades. A Teamsters representative did not respond to a request for clarification on what a strike may consist of for workers and consumers or when it might commence. UPS has said it transports about 6 percent of the nation’s gross domestic product (GDP) on a daily basis and more than 3 percent of the global GDP. |
