UPS and Teamsters Kick Off Contract Negotiations

Part-timers and weekend drivers are expected to be among the key points of debate as the Teamsters and United Parcel Service Inc. begin talks this week on the largest collective bargaining agreement in the U.S.

The parcel-delivery industry has changed since the International Brotherhood of Teamsters and UPS last signed a five-year agreement in 2018. UPS and rival FedEx Corp. have become more focused in recent years on delivering more profitable packages rather than increasing volume.
