Biden \u200dstated. &#8220;While this agreement still awaits final ratification \u200cby Teamsters members, \u200dtoday\u2019s \u200cannouncement moves us closer to a better deal for \u200bworkers that will also add to our economic momentum.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I\u2019ve always said that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/genuinely-thrilled-mlb-opening-day-scheduled-for-april-7\/\" title=\"\u2018Genuinely Thrilled\u2019: MLB Opening Day Scheduled For April 7\">collective bargaining works<\/a> by providing workers a seat at the table and \u200dthe opportunity\u2062 to improve their lives while contributing fully to \u2063their employer\u2019s\u2064 success,&#8221;

Furthermore, the projected \u2062furlough of \u200baround 340,000 UPS workers during \u200ca strike would lead to over $1 billion in lost wages. Additionally, consumers were expected to bear the brunt of $4 billion\u2064 in losses if \u200da 10-day strike were to occur.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\">Click \u2064here<\/a> to read more from The Washington Examiner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Joe Biden praised the Teamsters and UPS for reaching a tentative labor agreement, highlighting the significance of employers and employees resolving their disputes through negotiation.
