A threatened U.S. strike at United Parcel Service could be "one of the costliest in at least a century," topping $7 billion for a 10-day work stoppage, a think tank specializing in the economic impact of labor actions said on Thursday.

or acquiesce to Teamster demands that could worsen the company's labor cost disadvantage versus nonunion rivals in an inflationary environment.

If the Teamsters negotiate a good deal, I feel like it'd create more pressure for other shippers to unionize... Also, this corpo-speak is atrocious.

So as far as I'm concerned, take UPS to the cleaners and pave the way for everyone else.

Yup. It's good to see all the collective action going on this year. Keep up the fight!
