That makes major supply chain disruptions all but certain if its union strikes, the teamsters which represent about 350,000 UPS workers have said they'll walk off the job if they don't get a new contract, the current one expires July 31st. The last time UPS workers went on strike was more than two decades ago. I'm Julie Walker.
