UPS Workers on the Brink of Strike as Negotiations Collapse

Negotiations between the Teamsters Union and UPS have stalled, with both sides accusing each other of abandoning the talks. The union, representing around 340,000 UPS workers, claims that the company's offer did not address their needs. UPS denies ending negotiations and urges the union to remain at the table. The labor contract is set to expire at the end of the month, and UPS workers have authorized a strike if a deal is not reached. The union is seeking higher pay, more full-time jobs, and the removal of surveillance cameras in delivery trucks. A failure to finalize the contract could lead to the largest U.S. labor strike since 1959.
