UPS to train nonunion employees as talks stall with union for 340,000 workers

Following the breakdown of contract talks between UPS and the union representing 340,000 of its workers, UPS has announced that it will begin training nonunion employees in the U.S. as a contingency plan in the event of a strike. The union has vowed to strike if no agreement is reached by the end of the month.

UPS clarified that the training is a temporary measure and will not impact current operations. The company stated that while progress has been made in the negotiations and an agreement is close, it has a responsibility as an essential service provider to prepare for the possibility of a strike.

Both UPS and the Teamsters, the union representing the workers, blamed each other for the breakdown in talks. With the July 31 deadline approaching rapidly, negotiations appear to be at a standstill.

Last month, Teamster-represented UPS workers voted in favor of a strike authorization, and union chief Sean O’Brien has previously indicated that a strike is imminent, the Associated Press has reported.
