Negotiations are looming for the largest private collective bargaining agreement in North America, a high-stakes matchup between the Teamsters and package delivery giant UPS that could have reverberations far beyond the Sandy Springs-based company.
The talks will determine the pay and terms of work for about 330,000 UPS workers represented by the International Brotherhood of Teamsters. A new contract will also chart the path for how consumers get packages delivered to doorsteps for years to come.
And Teamsters General President Sean O’Brien intends to use the UPS contract negotiations to demonstrate what they say employees at Amazon and other large companies could get if more of them unionized.
