"UPS-Teamsters Talks Collapse, Looming Strike Threatens Supply Chains"
TL;DR Summary
Acting U.S. Labor Secretary Julie Su stated that she does not currently see a need to intervene in the contract talks between the Teamsters Union and United Parcel Service (UPS). The Teamsters accused UPS of walking away from negotiations, while the company denied this and accused the union of halting negotiations. The White House remains in contact with both sides and is optimistic about reaching an agreement. If talks fail, UPS workers have authorized a strike, which would be their first since 1997. Both parties aim to avoid a strike that could disrupt millions of daily deliveries.
