International Brotherhood of Teamsters v. United Parcel Service, Inc. (2026 labor dispute)
What it is: Union lawsuit challenging UPS’s “Driver Choice Program” (buyouts up to ~$150K).
Claims: UPS allegedly violated the 2023 national labor contract by:
bypassing union bargaining
forcing or pressuring job separations
changing working conditions without agreement
2026 status: Court denied an injunction, so UPS can continue the program while arbitration continues.
👉 This is one of the biggest UPS labor fights in 2026 because it affects thousands of drivers and union rights.
