UPS Teamsters

United Parcel Service (UPS), celebrating a new tentative five-year labor contract covering 340,000 members at the Teamsters union, says it expects the new deal will be ratified by rank-and-file workers within two weeks.

Late last week, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters (IBT) said that 97% of its members that work for Atlanta-based global freight transportation and logistics services provider UPS have signed off on authorizing a strike, which IBT said gives the union “maximum leverage to win demands at the bargaining table.”
