what will happen

If UPS and its workers’ union fail to reach agreement, a strike could spur massive delivery disruptions across the country.

The Teamsters union representing UPS workers has voted overwhelmingly to authorize a strike if no agreement is reached on a labor contract before the current one expires July 31, raising the prospect of massive, nationwide disruptions in UPS deliveries.

“This vote shows that hundreds of thousands of Teamsters are united and determined to get the best contract in our history at UPS,” Teamsters General President Sean M. O’Brien said in a statement Friday. “If this multibillion-dollar corporation fails to deliver on the contract that our hardworking members deserve, UPS will be striking itself.”
