UPS saga continues: how many local agreements are considered ratified? - Freight Waves
On the first business day after the ratification/non-ratification of the UPS (NYSE: UPS) master agreement covering its Small Package division, the dust still had not completely settled.
In particular, a new wrinkle surrounding local issues, and the need to have them approved, came from a statement made by the dissident Teamsters for a Democratic Union.
A spokesman for UPS said Monday that the company planned to sit down with union negotiators to discuss local issues at the 10 local/regional units that had rejected the union.
But whether it's necessary to talk about 10 separate agreements is unclear, based on a web posting by the TDU.
