UPS workers vote to strike, setting stage for biggest walkout since 1959

UPS workers are gearing up for a potential strike that would be the biggest U.S. labor walkout since the 1950s.
Members of the Teamsters union, which represents about 340,000 workers at the package delivery company, voted overwhelmingly on Friday to strike if no agreement is reached with UPS by the time the current contract expires on July 31.
"If this multibillion-dollar corporation fails to deliver on the contract that our hardworking members deserve, UPS will be striking itself," Teamsters President Sean O'Brien said in a statement. "The strongest leverage our members have is their labor and they are prepared to withhold it to ensure UPS acts accordingly."
Some 97% of voting members approved a strike, although the voting turnout was not immediately known. .... 06/16/2023 CBS News
