Negotiations are ongoing between Teamsters and UPS for a new national contract, and one of the labor union’s demands is for the shipping company to drop the use of drones or driverless vehicles for deliveries. While these solutions would ease the impact of online sales, UPS also has to consider the wants of 260,000 union-affiliated employees.
Other demands outlined in an 83-page document submitted to UPS this week include hiring another 10,000 workers and halting deliveries after 9 p.m., including during the peak-delivery holiday months of November and December. UPS said it's hired 40,000 more Teamster workers in the U.S. in the last five years.
