UPS headed towards massive strike
ATLANTA, Georgia --
Labor experts are hinting that a massive strike could be brewing within the next year at UPS- the world's biggest package courier.
This comes ahead of a high stakes showdown between the company and the teamsters union. Contract negotiations between UPS and teamsters are set to begin in the spring.
Experts are predicting the company's drivers and package handlers will go on strike even before talks start. This would be the largest strike against a single business in U.S. history.
The shipping giant moves 21.5 million U.S. packages a day. The Postal Service, Amazon, and Fedex would not be able to cover the shortfall in the event of a strike.
