New York CNN —On Tuesday, the Teamsters union will announce if their 340,000 members at UPS have ratified a new contract or if they rejected it, reviving the risk of a crippling nationwide strike.
The company is calling it a win for the union members, for the company and for its customers.
While rank and file at UPS voted down a deal five years ago, a majority did not participate in that ratification process.
There are numerous examples in recent years of rank-and-file union members voting down deals recommended by their leadership and sometimes forcing a strike.
