Talks between shipping giant United Parcel Service (UPS) and the International Brotherhood of Teamsters fell apart last week, upping the possibility that the union could strike in a massive walkout when their current contract expires at the end of this month.
美国运输巨头联合包裹服务公司(UPS)与国际卡车司机工会之间的谈判上周破裂,增加了工会可能在本月底当前合同到期时发起大规模罢工的可能性。
The union, which represents roughly 340,000 members working for UPS, voted last month to authorize a strike if a deal isn’t reached before July 31. The strike would be one of the largest in U.S. history.
代表大约34万名在UPS工作的成员的工会上个月投票授权罢工,如果在7月31日之前无法达成协议。这次罢工将是美国历史上规模最大的之一。
Here’s what to know about the looming possible strike:

A strike by the tens of thousands of UPS workers represented by Teamsters could significantly disrupt deliveries, potentially delaying packages or prompting higher shipping costs from other companies.
数万名由国际卡车司机工会代表的UPS工人的罢工可能会严重干扰快递服务,可能导致包裹延迟送达或引发其他公司的运费上涨。
The shipping company has said it transports roughly 6 percent of the gross domestic product (GDP) for the US alone. But it has said it has “contingency plans” in place for both the products it is shipping and its members who may strike, UPS told The Hill last week.
航运公司表示,仅美国一国,其运输的国内生产总值(GDP)约占总量的6%。但联合包裹服务公司(UPS)上周告诉《希尔报》称,他们已制定了针对运输产品和可能发生罢工的成员的“应急计划”。
Jonathan Gold, vice president of supply chain and customs policy at the National Retail Federation, said a strike would likely prompt a supply chain disruption like that which occurred during the pandemic, stalling deliveries.
美国零售联合会供应链和海关政策副总裁乔纳森·戈尔德表示,罢工很可能会引发像疫情期间那样的供应链中断,导致交货停滞。
FedEx, another shipping giant, said in a statement that “shippers who are considering shifting volume to FedEx” should start working with the company now.
联邦快递(FedEx)在一份声明中表示,“考虑将货量转移到联邦快递的托运人”应该立即与公司合作。

“In the event of an industry disruption, FedEx Corporation’s priority is protecting capacity and service for existing customers,” the company said.
“在行业中断的情况下,联邦快递公司的首要任务是保护现有客户的能力和服务。”该公司表示。
The United States Postal Service (USPS) Monday launched a new “coast-to-coast 2-5-day shipping offering” and said it’s “ready to compete for an increased share of the growing package business.”
美国邮政服务(USPS)周一推出了一项新的“沿海至沿海2-5天运输服务”,并表示“已准备好争取日益增长的包裹业务的更大份额”。

What are they fighting over?
他们在争什么?
The shipping company and the union are divided over wages, benefits and compensation for workers as they negotiate a new contract before their current agreement expires at the end of this month.
航运公司和工会在谈判新合同之前,就工资、福利和员工补偿问题产生分歧。目前的协议将于本月底到期。
Teamsters are also pushing for an end to a dual-wage system for delivery drivers and to “forced overtime on drivers’ days off,” as well as for better workplace protections and a holiday on Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
卡车司机工会也在推动取消送货司机的双薪制度,以及“强制加班在司机休息日”,同时争取更好的工作场所保护和马丁·路德·金纪念日的假期。
UPS drivers make $18.05 an hour in Arkansas, $17.63 in Oklahoma and $21.02 in Connecticut, according to Indeed.
根据Indeed的数据,阿肯色州的UPS司机每小时赚取18.05美元,俄克拉荷马州为17.63美元,康涅狄格州为21.02美元。
UPS made $11.5 billion in net income in 2022, as profits exceeded fourth-quarter expectations. The company’s 2022 operating profits hit more than $13 billion, for an operating margin of 13 percent.
UPS在2022年实现了115亿美元的净收入,利润超过了第四季度的预期。该公司2022年的营业利润超过了130亿美元,营业利润率为13%。
UPS and the union reached a tentative agreement on the two-tier wages, overtime and holiday at the start of this month, which was seen by many as a move that would lessen the likelihood of a strike, but tensions continue on other economic parts of the negotiations.
UPS和工会在本月初就两级工资、加班和假日达成了初步协议,许多人认为这是减少罢工可能性的举措,但在其他经济谈判方面仍存在紧张局势。
What will the strike affect?
罢工会影响什么?
“@UPS seems to think it has the luxury of time on its side – enough to ignore the needs of the #Teamsters who make its profits possible, including more than 150,000 part-timers who are the backbone of the company’s operations,” the union wrote on Twitter, noting that “340,000 Teamsters on strike can’t be ignored.”
“@UPS似乎认为自己有足够的时间来忽视使其利润成为可能的#Teamsters的需求,其中包括超过150,000名兼职员工,他们是公司运营的支柱,”工会在Twitter上写道,并指出“340,000名罢工的Teamsters是不容忽视的。”
“As it turns out, the company does not have the luxury of being able to ignore us. Because in just a few short weeks, UPS will have to reckon with fierce Teamster power in the streets if their disrespect continues,” the Teamsters union said.
事实证明,公司没有能力忽视我们。因为在短短几周内,如果他们继续不尊重我们,UPS将不得不面对强大的工会力量。
Not only could the possible strike impact deliveries, a mass work stoppage of thousands of warehousing, transportation and delivery workers under the union could also effect commerce.
不仅可能的罢工会影响交货,工会下数千名仓储、运输和送货员工的大规模停工也可能对商业产生影响。
The last time UPS Teamsters walked out was more than 25 years ago in 1997, launching a 15-day strike that impacted the package supply chain worldwide.
上一次 UPS Teamsters 罢工是在 1997 年,已经过去了超过 25 年的时间,当时发起了为期 15 天的罢工,对全球包裹供应链产生了影响。
When will we know if UPS Teamsters are striking?
UPS Teamsters罢工的消息何时会公布?
Workers are set to strike if the union and UPS don’t reach a deal by the contract expiration date on July 31.
如果工会和UPS在7月31日合同到期之前达不成协议,工人们将会举行罢工。
The union had pushed for a deal to be made by July 5, which didn’t materialize because of time needed to ratify a new contract.
工会曾经力推在7月5日前达成协议,但由于需要时间来批准新合同,这一目标未能实现。
On the July 5 deadline, Teamsters said UPS “walked away from the bargaining table after presenting an unacceptable offer to the Teamsters that did not address members’ needs.”
在7月5日的最后期限,卡车司机工会表示UPS“在提出了一个不能满足会员需求的不可接受的方案后,离开了谈判桌。”
UPS last week urged the Teamsters to return to the table for negotiations and said that they “have not walked away.”
UPS上周敦促工会回到谈判桌前,并表示他们“并未离开。”
It’s not clear if we’ll know before July 31 if the union will definitely strike, but without a deal, union representatives have said workers will walk away from their posts as soon as the existing contract ends.
在7月31日之前我们不清楚是否会得知工会是否会发起罢工,但如果没有达成协议,工会代表表示工人们将在现有合同结束后立即离开岗位。
“We all have a contract till July 31st — we will work under that contract,” Teamsters Local 171 Vice President Scott Barry told outlet WDBJ7.
“我们所有人都有一个合同,直到7月31日为止 - 我们将按照合同工作,” Teamsters Local 171副主席斯科特·巴里告诉WDBJ7。
“Our administration has made it clear. We will not be working beyond the expiration date without the contract our members have demanded, and more importantly without the contract our members deserve,” Teamsters president Sean O’Brien said earlier this month.
我们的管理层已经明确表示,如果没有我们成员要求的合同,更重要的是没有我们成员应得的合同,我们将不会在到期日期之后继续工作。这是本月早些时候团队工会主席肖恩·奥布莱恩的讲话。
