And just like that, the air goes out of the strike balloon.
UPS and the Teamsters union representing 340,000 workers at the package carrier on Tuesday said they reached a preliminary labor deal that includes raises for both full- and part-time workers and narrowly avoids a potential strike that could have started next week.
“Together we reached a win-win-win agreement on the issues that are important to Teamsters leadership, our employees and to UPS and our customers,” UPS CEO Carol Tome. “This agreement continues to reward UPS’s full- and part-time employees with industry-leading pay and benefits while retaining the flexibility we need to stay competitive, serve our customers and keep our business strong.”
I said yesterday, I thought UPS had received the incoming messages concerning what the Teamsters had planned for them should they not buckle under to demands. Especially when the company let it be known…
…UPS is looking to reach a deal at the earliest and noted that it is ready to hike pay and benefits.
Yeah.
