"Teamsters Union President Prepares to Crush UPS in Looming Strike"
Teamsters union President Sean O'Brien has declared that it's time to "pulverize" as a nationwide strike at UPS looms. While 95% of the contract has been negotiated, the remaining issue is economics, with the union demanding fair pay for part-time workers. A UPS spokesperson claims that part-timers receive the same benefits as full-time employees, but they do earn less. If a deal is not reached by July 31, the union plans to withhold labor starting August 1. The strike would have a significant impact on UPS's supply chain solutions, as the pilots' union has pledged not to work if the Teamsters go on strike. Part-time workers, who feel they are not adequately compensated for their contributions, are prepared to go without pay during the strike.
