The Teamsters union says a UPS driver strike is 'inevitable' if UPS does not return a ' best and final offer,' by Friday, June 30.
— the union that represents over 340,000 UPS workers — have been in negotiations over a new contract since April, following complaints from many UPS employees over the 2018 contract, and the company’s working conditions.
Although both parties have reached a consensus on many non-economic issues, the biggest hangup at this point is a cost-neutral contract. The union also said UPS returned to the table over the past week with "an appalling" counterproposal which offered "miniscule raises and wage cuts to traditional cost-of-living adjustments."
If UPS does not return its best and final offer by Friday, the Teamsters threaten to strike by Aug. 1, which could cause disruptions in the supply chain in the U.S. and around the world.
