Kudzu-Ops Mailing List: Re: What if UPS goes on strike ... ?

[Gail Barton (gpb0016]

John,

 

AAA has access to the libraries’ FedEx account and can expedite in that manner if needed. We have already started shifting much of the UPS to FedEx upon hearing of the possibility of a strike.

 

Thanks for checking.

Greetings, Kudzu-Ops Friends –

 

There’s much speculation in the news about a possible nationwide strike by UPS drivers, potential as soon as August 1.  For those of you who use UPS for your expedited deliveries (for Kudzu and/or other agreements), do you have ideas on how to maintain service timelines during the strike (if it comes to pass)?

 

Please share your thoughts.  We can set up a quick huddle via Zoom if needed as well.

 

 

Kind regards,
