UPS told the union they had nothing more to give following a marathon of negotiations. Key areas of disagreement include wages and pensions, with the union threatening to strike on August 1st if an agreement is not reached. This could potentially disrupt UPS's vast package delivery network and have a substantial impact on the U.S. economy.
