CNN —The union representing pilots flying cargo planes for UPS say they will not cross picket lines if Teamsters strike next month, a spokesperson for the Independent Pilots Association confirmed to CNN. The heads of the two unions say in letters to each other that their support proved pivotal during a previous Teamsters strike in 1997. “No one wants a work stoppage, but should a legal IBT strike be initiated, you and the IBT can count on the IPA for support.”This does not mean UPS pilots are going on strike, rather there will be a work stoppage as they vow not to fly UPS cargo. Such as high value spare parts, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, anything of high value or high opportunity cost”Without UPS’ Pilots – the company will not be able to move anything from California to New York in a day. “This certainly is even more pressure on ups management to come to a deal with teamsters,” said Miller.

Not all retailers are environmentally focused, "so things end up being thrown away because of the cost," he said. If consumers want to avoid contributing to landfills with their returns, there are a few things to keep in mind. Luxury brands, too, are more likely to trash returns to avoid products ending up in secondary markets and tarnishing the label's value. Retailers are investing more in returns technology, services, and other advanced strategies as returns volumes grow. Consolidation strategies used by Amazon and other major retailers cut down on shipping costs by pooling returns together at stores.
