The Teamsters union that represents 340,000 UPS workers said Aug. 22 that its members voted to approve the tentative contract agreement reached in July, putting a final seal on negotiations that threatened to disrupt package deliveries for millions of businesses and households.
The Teamsters said in a statement that 86% of the votes cast were in favor of ratifying the contract. They also said it was passed by the highest vote for a contract in the history of the Teamsters at UPS.
The union also said more than 40 supplemental agreements were also ratified, expect for one that covers roughly 170 members in Florida.
The national master agreement will go into effect as soon as that supplement is renegotiated and ratified, it said. (The AP 08/22/23) UPS workers approve 5-year contract, capping contentious negotiations that threatened deliveries | AP News
