Commissar SFLUFAN Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 UPS Teamsters overwhelmingly authorize strike if no deal is reached by August 1 | CNN Business WWW.CNN.COM Members of the Teamsters union voted overwhelmingly to authorize a strike at United Parcel Service in a vote announced Friday. But a strike is still more than seven weeks away, if it happens at all. Quote Members of the Teamsters union voted overwhelmingly to authorize a strike at United Parcel Service in a vote announced Friday. But a strike is still more than seven weeks away, if it happens at all. The members at the country’s largest delivery service voted 97% in favor of authorizing a strike to start on August 1, if there is no agreement in contract talks now taking place between the company and the union. The Teamsters represent more than 340,000 UPS logistics warehouse workers and package delivery drivers nationwide. “This vote shows that hundreds of thousands of Teamsters are united and determined to get the best contract in our history at UPS. If this multibillion-dollar corporation fails to deliver on the contract that our hardworking members deserve, UPS will be striking itself. The strongest leverage our members have is their labor and they are prepared to withhold it to ensure UPS acts accordingly,” said Sean M. O’Brien, Teamsters General President. The results were not a surprise. Strike votes are a common part of labor negotiations, designed to give the union negotiators leverage while trying to reach an agreement. They typically always pass overwhelmingly. Despite that, the majority of contract negotiations are concluded without a strike. UPS said it remains confident there won’t be a strike this time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
