(UPS) is the largest unionized employer in the private sector. If a strike does come, it would be the largest against a single employer in America’s history, as UPS “We continue to make progress on key issues and remain confident that we will reach an agreement that provides wins for our employees, the Teamsters, our company and our customers.” “The results do not mean that a strike is imminent and do not impact our current business operations in any way,” a statement from the company said. UPS said it remains confident there won’t be a strike this time. Despite that, the majority of contract negotiations are concluded without a strike. They typically always pass overwhelmingly. Strike votes are a common part of labor negotiations, designed to give the union negotiators leverage while trying to reach an agreement. The strongest leverage our members have is their labor and they are prepared to withhold it to ensure UPS acts accordingly,” said Sean M. If this multibillion-dollar corporation fails to deliver on the contract that our hardworking members deserve, UPS will be striking itself. “This vote shows that hundreds of thousands of Teamsters are united and determined to get the best contract in our history at UPS.

The Teamsters represent more than 340,000 UPS logistics warehouse workers and package delivery drivers nationwide.
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.
But a strike is still more than seven weeks away, if it happens at all.
Members of the Teamsters union voted overwhelmingly to authorize a strike at United Parcel Service in a vote announced Friday.
