[Common Dreams] Teamsters Say Contract Talks Have Collapsed After UPS Made 'Unacceptable Offer' ( www.commondreams.org )

The Teamsters said Wednesday that high-stakes talks with UPS over a new contract for more than 340,000 workers have fallen apart after the company presented an offer that union negotiators deemed badly inadequate.

UPS is so fundamental to commerce in America that I suspect the Taft–Hartley Act might come into play. If I understand this bullshit correctly, the government can intervene directly in the strike - similar to the shit they pulled back in December with the railroad strike.

Taft-Hartley applies if the president determines that the strike would pose a significant economic impact. It’s actually pretty broad in that respect - been used against miners n shit. After the last betrayal I wouldn’t put it past this administration
