Unionized UPS workers voted overwhelmingly on Friday, June 16, 2023, to authorize a strike, setting the stage for a potential work stoppage if the package delivery company and Teamsters can’t come to an agreement before their contract expires next month by July 31, 2023. The Teamsters said 97% of unionized workers voted for the authorization. The Teamsters have urged workers to authorize a strike to give them more leverage in negotiations with the company, but a yes vote does not mean a strike is imminent, in the video published on June 16, 2023, by KTLA 5, as “UPS workers vote to authorize strike in high-stakes negotiations for a new contract“, below:
A staggering 97% of unionized UPS workers voted Friday to authorize a strike. Workers’ demands include better pay and driver safety improvements.

Union workers for delivery giant UPS have voted in favor of authorizing a strike if a new labor deal is not reached. With 340,000 members, it sets the stage for what could be the largest work stoppage in the U.S. since 1959. Carter Evans reports, in the video published on June 16, 2023, by CBS Evening News, as “UPS workers vote to authorize strike if deal not reached“, below:
UPS drivers have voted overwhelmingly to strike this summer if their demands for higher wages and improved working conditions aren’t met. Despite not getting approval from the Teamsters Union for the strike, drivers are insisting that full time work at UPS provide for a reasonable “middle class” lifestyle. Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss the difficult working conditions UPS drivers face and the prospects for a strike this summer, in the video published on June 17, 2023, by The Jimmy Dore Show, as “97% Of UPS Drivers Vote To STRIKE This Summer!“, below:

A strike from UPS workers would be the largest single-employer strike in U.S. history, in the video published on June 16, 2023, by KTVB, as “UPS workers authorize strike negotiations for new contract“, below:
340,000 UPS workers are gearing up for a massive, nationwide strike. Working at UPS used to provide a comfortable, middle-class life. But the company has spent decades eroding pay and working conditions and even trying to gigify jobs. Now workers are fighting back. If they don’t get a fair contract deal by July 31, 2023, workers could go on strike. It would be the largest single-employer strike in U.S. history, in the video published on May 30, 2023, by More Perfect Union, as “This Could Be The Biggest Strike In U.S. History“, below:
UPS delivers millions more packages every day than it did just five years ago and its 350,000 unionized workers, represented by the Teamsters, still seethe about a contract they feel was forced on them in 2018, in the video published on May 23, 2023, by WGN News, as “UPS strike looms in a world grown reliant on everything delivered everywhere all the time“, below:
Thusfar, the company UPS has made some concession in providing AC for the UPS drivers in some states. All consumers would like to see both the UPS and the Teamster union come to an agreement soon in order to avoid the largest single-employer strike in U.S. history. Such a strike would not be good for the U.S. economy, therefore it would not benefit UPS nor members of the Teamster Union. Until July 31, 2023, let’s hope both sides would be able to appreciate the art of give-and-take and conclude the negotiation with a round of cheers and applause from both sides.
