UPS workers have approved a five-year Labor Deal that includes significant wage increases and other improvements to work rules and schedules, according to the International Brotherhood of Teamsters. The deal, which received 86.3% of votes, is the highest contract vote in Teamsters' history at UPS. Part-time workers will see their minimum wage increase to $21 per hour, while full-time workers will average $49 per hour. UPS drivers will average $170,000 in pay and benefits at the end of the five-year deal. The agreement narrowly averted a potential strike that could have impacted the US economy.
