The agreement would raise wages for UPS employees across the board and end a controversial two-tiered employee system.
The Teamsters have reached a new agreement with UPS that the union is touting as the “most historic” deal in the history of the company, likely avoiding a 340,000-worker strike that was slated to start August 1. The union and the company announced the deal on Tuesday, just hours after the parties had returned to the bargaining table following a collapse in negotiations earlier this month.
