But soon, another sector could be headed towards the same fate.between UPS and the Teamsters Union—which covers more than 340,000 full-time and part-time UPS workers—has reached a contentious point as negotiations have come to a standstill, the AP reported.

According to the AP, the shipping company and the labor union are currently locked in a battle over one point: wage increases for part-time workers.Sean M. O'Brien
