ATLANTA, Dec. 24 (UPI) -- A threat of a strike by United Parcel Service pilots has been diminished after a federal mediator ordered a 30-day cooling off period in negotiations.
The "indefinite recess" allows the union for the 2,400 pilots and UPS to communicate but sets no deadlines, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution said Saturday. The talks have been interrupted at least twice in the last three years.
UPS and its pilots, who earn about $175,000 a year on average, have been talking for more than three years, and pilots say they remain about $40 million apart. Pilots want to improve their schedules and working conditions, in addition to raising pay, retirement and health benefits.
The company has signed labor deals with its drivers and other work groups in the last three years, but pilots are working under a contract that came open nearly two years ago.
