The last time UPS workers walked of the job more than two decades ago, it crippled the shipping company.
Jessica Ray moves deliveries from UPS, including baby food and diapers for her child, in her apartment on Friday, May 12, 2023, in New York. Ray, who relies on delivery for virtually everything, said she is concerned about delays in deliveries should UPS workers strike. – Living in New York City, working full time and without a car, Jessica Ray and her husband have come to rely on deliveries of food and just about everything else for their home.
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. “We finally reached a point where we finally feel pretty good about it,” Ray said. “We can take a Saturday afternoon and do a fun family activity and not feel the burden of making everything work for the day-to-day functioning of our household.”
