There will be NO UPS strike…..

UPS and International Brotherhood of Teamsters reached a deal Tuesday, a crucial step toward averting a nationwide strike slated for Aug. 1, in a victory for organized labor and especially part-time workers struggling with inflation.

The five-year tentative agreement with the Teamsters, which represents 340,000 workers, includes $7.50 an hour pay increases for all UPS employees, as well as the elimination of a lower-paid class of delivery driver and installation of air conditioning units in delivery vans for the first time.
