OPA Press Release: Statement By U.S. Secretary Of Labor Alexis M. Herman On The UPS Strike [08/03/1997]

For more information call: 202/219-8211

 
	 

I urge both parties to return to the bargaining table and negotiate in good faith until they reach a fair settlement. There are serious issues involved, but they can be worked out through the collective bargaining process under the auspices of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service. UPS and Teamsters representatives should press on and not rest until they find the common ground that resolves this dispute with the least disruption and inconvenience for everyone involved, including the public that depends on the service that UPS and its employees provide.
