As contract negotiations continue, UPS workers who are part of the Teamsters union voted overwhelmingly to organize a strike that could start as soon as the beginning of August.

The union wants better pay, elimination of surveillance cameras in the trucks and more full time jobs, according to CBS News. To bolster their case, the Teamsters point to record profits for UPS in 2022, saying the company paid out more that $8 billion in shareholder dividends.

If the strike goes through, it will be the largest labor stoppage since the steelworkers’ strike in 1959. The last time that UPS workers went on strike was 1997, which lasted 15 days.
