Teamsters stuck UPS Canada Monday, stopping most UPS shipments in and out of the country.
The UPS Canada web site posted this notice:
“Effective Monday, November 22, the Canadian Council of Teamsters representing UPS Canada employees initiated a work stoppage. As a result, we are temporarily unable to provide service to your location. We regret the inconvenience caused by this disruption in service."
The notice said Teamster members had voted down a tentative agreement reached on October 1 and called the work stoppage "unneccesary."
”UPS has implemented contingency plans to deliver all shipments picked up as of Thursday, November 18, however these shipments may continue to experience some delays," the notice continued.
”The following services are suspended until our negotiations are resolved:
• Pick up and delivery of all UPS Canada courier shipments destined for locations within Canada, to the U.S. or to Worldwide destinations
• UPS Standard to Canada"
The company said the strike would have no effect on UPS operations outside of Canada.
