The looming threat of a UPS strike hasn’t been enough for many companies to shift some of their package volumes elsewhere.
The delivery giant’s national contract agreement with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, which represents around 330,000 UPS employees, expires at the end of the month. The union plans to strike Aug. 1 without a tentative deal for a new contract in place, which would hobble the company’s network and spur supply chain disruptions.
