Prepare For Major Comics Delays as UPS Vote to Authorise Strikes ups
The deal saw part-time package handlers move from $10.35 an hour to $13 to $15.50 by 2022, while drivers then on $19 an hour, would get $20.50 and $34.79 an hour by 2022. Well, that five-year contract is now up.
Members of the Teamsters union in the US, who represent more than 340,000 UPS logistics warehouse workers and package delivery drivers, have voted to authorise a strike to take place from the 1st of August 2023, when the current contract expires. That's if there is no agreement in the talks about that contract, now taking place between UPS and Teamsters.
UPS is the largest package delivery company in the world, delivering more than 20 million packages per day in the US alone. A strike would affect not only UPS customers but also other businesses that use UPS as a subcontractor, such as Amazon, FedEx, and USPS. Oh, and Diamond Comic Distributors, Lunar Distribution and Penguin Random House, the three big distributors of comic books in the USA, while Diamond UK has a monopoly for American comic books in Europe.
There may not be a strike, of course. This just gives the union the ability to call a strike, which can then be used in negotiation tactics with UPS. And the union says it is confident there won't be a need for a strike,"The results do not mean that a strike is imminent and do not impact our current business operations in any way.
