New York CNN —The Teamsters union says it has walked away from negotiations with United Parcel Service with just over a month to go before its contract expires.
In fact, most union labor negotiations include a strike authorization vote by rank and file, and most negotiations conclude with an agreement rather than a strike.

UPS CEO Carol Tome has insisted there can be a deal reached that is a win for the union members, the company and its customers.
Teamsters point to record UPS profitsThe Teamsters haven’t publicly disclosed the wage increase union negotiators are seeking.
