UPS Workers Under Teamsters Union Threaten To Go On Strike

In a worst case scenario, a longer-term UPS strike could result in major disruptions to the U.S. Supply Chain Network.

Over 340 thousand UPS workers represented by the Teamsters union are threatening to go on strike.

The workers are seeking changes to their pay, hours, and working conditions.

If there is no agreement in contract talks between the company and the union by August, a strike is expected to take place.

The work stoppage would kick off as shoppers head into the back-to-school season and retailers prepare for the peak holiday stretch later in the year.

In a worst case scenario, a longer-term UPS strike could result in major disruptions to the U.S. Supply Chain Network.

If a strike comes about, it would mark the largest single-employer strike in U.S. history.
