“UPS representatives told some customers Thursday that non-union management staff across the country would begin training for strike roles on Friday, according to a customer briefed on the plans by a UPS representative.

“UPS told the customer, a mid-sized retailer, that it's prioritizing which customers will still receive service in the case of a strike and warned that many packages will require extra transit time.”

"Over the coming weeks, many of our U.S. employees will participate in training that would help them safely serve our customers if there is a labor disruption."
