A massive UPS strike could devastate the economy. It could be just eight weeks away

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 11:15:32 GMT

New York (CNN) — The Teamsters union is holding a vote right now among more than 330,000 members to authorize a strike against UPS. If UPS workers strike, it would be the largest single-employer strike in US history. And it could take place in less than eight weeks.A strike could be devastating for both the company and the overall US economy, which is only recently seeing improvements from strained supply chains during the pandemic. An estimated 6% of the United States’ gross domestic product, the broadest measure of the economy, moves in UPS trucks, according to the company.FedEx and the US Postal Service won’t be able to make up for that. UPS is simply too big – delivering an average of 17 million domestic packages a day – to have all the packages it handles moved by competitors.The strike, if it happens, couldn’t come at a worse time for retailers stocking up for the back-to-school shopping season and preparing for the end-of-year holidays.Progress at the tableThe union hasn’t sp...
