UPS, Teamsters start '08 contract talks early

UPS, Teamsters start '08 contract talks early
UPS and its biggest union, representing 238,000 drivers, sorters and other hourly workers, said they opened talks Tuesday on a new contract. The company and the Teamsters union said the talks are starting early. The current six-year pact expires July 31, 2008. "While it is unusual to start this early, we do so because there are some very complex issues to address and we all recognize it will take time to find solutions," said John McDevitt, UPS's senior vice president for Global Transportation Services. "And an early start to negotiations greatly increases the chances of an early finish."
