UPS, Teamsters start negotiations early
The International Brotherhood of Teamsters and UPS Tuesday started negotiations to replace a six-year contract not due to expire until July 31, 2008.
The Teamsters represents about 238,000 UPS hourly workers in the United States.
“While it is unusual to start this early, we do so because there are some very complex issues to address and we all recognize it will take time to find solutions,” said John McDevitt, UPS’s senior vice president for global transportation services.
