TL;DR Summary

97% of UPS workers represented by the Teamsters voted in support of a nationwide strike if there's no acceptable deal with management by July 31, when the current contract expires. The union represents over 340,000 UPS package delivery drivers and warehouse logistics workers across the U.S. The workers are pushing for a new five-year agreement that guarantees higher wages for all workers, more full-time jobs, an end to forced overtime and harassment from management, elimination of a two-tier wage system, and protection from heat and other workplace hazards.
