But Tomé's optimism comes as the Teamsters union, which represents more than 340,000 UPS workers, amps up pressure on the delivery giant. "Whether there is a strike of UPS workers is up to UPS," said Kara Deniz, a spokesperson for the Teamsters. The talks start in April, with the current national contract set to expire on July 31. In the fourth quarter of 2022, UPS workers delivered a global average of 28 million packages per day, according to the company's website. For the first time, Teamsters Union President Sean O'Brien and the union's secretary of the treasury will have seats at the bargaining table and be directly involved in negotiating the terms of the new contract.

"UPS Management talks about return on invested capital but UPS #Teamsters are the capital...Time to invest in them & spread the wealth," O'Brien tweeted.

O'Brien has said publicly several times that he plans to use the UPS contract negotiations as an example for other workforces that have yet to unionize — especially Amazon.

Several regular drivers told Insider they'd be happy to work for the extra pay— but it's not worth the aggravation. Why Saturdays stinkWhile weekday drivers generally have an assigned route and learn it intimately, weekend drivers are often handed a new itinerary every shift, drivers said. He'll have at least some support there: Several drivers told Insider that getting rid of the 22.4 position should be the Teamsters' top priority. Any carrier that devotes capacity to weekend service will "lose a ton of money," Shanker said, if retailers don't take advantage. UPS' weekend strategy may soon get a shakeup from a newly emboldened union — and some seriously frustrated drivers.
