Choosing the right express delivery channel is crucial, especially when UPS, the world's largest logistics company, faces a strike authorization. CZL Express recommends customers consider alternative courier options to ensure your parcel reaches its destination quickly and safely.
Recently, union members at UPS passed a strike authorization with 97% votes in favor, clearing the way for a possible strike on August 1. The union president said workers are determined to fight for the best UPS contract ever and will strike if the company doesn't give them what they deserve.
At the same time, the union and UPS reached a preliminary agreement on new heatstroke prevention and cooling measures, which is a big step towards the success of labor contract negotiations. The agreement includes the gradual installation of air conditioning equipment on delivery vehicles to improve the conditions of workers working in high temperatures for a long time.
According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, several UPS employees have been hospitalized for heatstroke since 2015. However, UPS has long refused to install air conditioning in its trucks and vans. The conclusion of this preliminary agreement is regarded as a win-win result, which will significantly improve the quality of life of employees.
Although the strike authorization has been passed, it does not mean that the strike will automatically occur. The two sides are still engaged in contract negotiations and hope to finalize and complete the agreement before the end of July to avoid a strike.
In view of the current low efficiency and slow feedback of UPS problem packages, CZL Express recommends that customers try to avoid choosing UPS and SF Express as express delivery channels for recent packages sent to the United States. We will continue to pay close attention to the dynamics of the global logistics industry and adjust cooperation channels to ensure that your packages can reach their destination quickly and safely.
