Potential UPS Strike - Prepare for Shipping Disruptions

There is a possibility of a UPS strike when the current Teamsters contract expires at the end of July, which could impact businesses in the coming months.

While there is hope for a peaceful resolution through negotiations, it is crucial to be prepared for potential disruptions to your shipping operations. To minimize the impact on your business, we recommend taking the following steps:

• Plan ahead for inventory needs. Evaluate your stock levels, anticipate demand, and ensure you have sufficient inventory to sustain your business during a potential strike period.
• Open a FedEx Account if you don’t currently have one. Having an alternative shipping provider, such as FedEx, will offer you additional options and flexibility during this uncertain period.

For more details on the potential UPS strike, our shipping provider, PartnerShip, has put together some helpful information. Read more here.
