Around 340,000 UPS workers may go on strike at the end of the month unless an agreement on employees' contracts can be quickly reached between the company and union members. Negotiations are set to resume next week after the two sides walked away from the bargaining table earlier this month. Both sides say about 95% of the deal has already been agreed upon but a few key issues remain open. UPS agreed to put air-conditioning in new vehicles and retrofit old ones with fans. They also agreed to make updates to their wage system but there are still disagreements about worker pay. If the strike goes forward, it could cost the US economy $7.1 billion — making it the costliest work stoppage ever in US history, economic experts say.
