United Parcel Service (UPS) and the International Brotherhood of Teamsters that represents roughly 340,000 U.S. workers are set to resume talks next week over a new contract and supplemental agreements covering local regions.
Negotiations broke down on July 5 over issues including wages and benefits for part-time employees. The union says it is prepared to strike if conditions are not met, a move that would be the largest work-stoppage at a single employer in U.S. history and could affect deliveries for millions of consumers including those of Amazon, a major UPS customer.
