UPS and Teamsters Union Resume Labor Talks Amid Looming Strike Threat

United Parcel Service (UPS) and the Teamsters union are set to resume labor talks on Tuesday in an effort to avoid a potential strike that could disrupt supply chains and harm the economy. The talks aim to finalize a fair deal that increases pay, creates more full-time jobs, and strengthens worker protections. While tentative agreements have been reached on certain issues, disagreements remain over pay increases for part-time workers. The current labor pact expires on July 31.

UAW President Refuses Handshake with Automaker CEOs Until Contract Deal

The United Auto Workers (UAW) will begin labor talks with Detroit's automakers without the usual handshake ceremonies, signaling a new approach by the UAW leadership. UAW President Shawn Fain has called the automakers the union's "enemies" and stated that he won't shake their hands until a deal is reached that reflects the needs of the workers. The negotiations will focus on demands such as restoring lost benefits, establishing cost-of-living adjustments, and setting tier-free wage scales. The automakers, on the other hand, want to ensure they have the cost structure to compete in the growing zero-emission transportation market.

Labor disputes cause chaos and delays at West Coast ports.

Labor talks between the International Longshore & Warehouse Union and Pacific Maritime Association have yet to reach a resolution, causing delays for container ships at West Coast ports. The lack of port productivity is impacting the movement of vessels in and out of dock, with truckers reporting that it takes three hours to get in and out of the port. The White House is monitoring the situation closely, and industry groups are urging the Biden administration to intervene. The sluggish pace of trade is hanging over labor discussions, and West Coast ports have lost share of trade to East Coast ports due to concerns among shippers about the labor situation.
