Axios - Labor talks between UPS and its unionized drivers and warehouse workers broke down today. Both sides are accusing the other of walking away from the negotiating table, Axios' Ivana Saric writes. If no deal is reached, a strike could disrupt a massive shipping network that touches customers and companies around the globe. UPS' unionized workforce in the U.S. is 340,000 employees. The company's 24 million average daily deliveries make up about a quarter of America's total parcel volume, according to global logistics firm Pitney Bowes. Should a strike occur, competitors — including FedEx and the U.S. Postal Service — likely wouldn't be able to absorb all of the extra load, snarling supply chains.
