UPS Inc. plans to train nonunion employees to help deliver packages in the event of a labor disruption in the U.S., underscoring the potential for a strike as a crucial negotiating deadline nears. The training sessions in the coming weeks won’t affect negotiations with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters or have an impact on operations, UPS said in a statement July 14. UPS is negotiating with the union, which represents about 340,000 UPS workers, to renew a five-year contract that expires at the end of this month and could lead to a potential strike on Aug. 1 if a deal can’t be reached.
