11,000 UPS Freight workers could go on strike Monday morning. The workers, who are represented by the Teamsters Union, have been voting on a new contract since November 7. Votes will be tallied on Sunday, and if the negotiated contract does not pass, a strike is expected. The last UPS strike in 1997 lasted 16 days and involved 185,000 workers.
Although UPS Freight, where multiple companies share truck shipping space, differs from the UPS small packages unit most customers use, a UPS Freight strike could still impact holiday pricing and scheduling.
