Hundreds of thousands of UPS workers have been in Union negotiations with the UPS since April.

Now those talks are coming to a head as they approach the August 1st deadline for a general strike for the hundreds of thousands of package deliverers folks, I can't emphasize yet again how important this is and how big of an impact this will have on basically all packages across the United States uh.

This will impact FedEx delivery system impacts, Amazon deliveries, people will just buy from different stores, people buy from different uh shipping companies and it will just Jam everything up folks uh.

We just got an ultimatum from the UPS negotiation team.

The teamsters have said that today is the deadline that UPS needs to send in its best and final offer for negotiations that if they Don don't put in a good enough offer today that the teamsters they just walked away from negotiations, and they just said you, you tell us when you're ready to negotiate.

You tell us when you're ready to make us a serious offer, and that's kind of where we are right now, is that they are not going to negotiate any further.

Supposedly, that's what the teamsters are saying.

Um now, UPS just for perspective, delivers 20 million packages a day.

A lot of you, a lot of uh people all over the place, get packages from UPS every day.

A lot of us have gotten them occasionally, if you've ever ordered from Walmart or you've ordered from some of these other stores.

You order on Amazon and got it from a third party delivery or buy things off, eBay, you've, probably gotten stuff from UPS.

Now it's hard to tell which is UPS and which is FedEx these days.

But I will say this that FedEx is now refusing to deliver anything that is brass and Lead.

They will not deliver that at all anymore.

So the only way you you can get seeds for your boomsticks is for you to go through UPS and so with UPS on strike.

That means you're not going to order any of that online.

Basically, unless you can get that locally or get that uh from some shipping agency that I don't know of also um, so with the August First Strike um, one of the things that's really aggravating I believe UPS workers, I've heard from a number of you who are UPS workers is the record profits that UPS has so the corporation.

The company is posting record profits, their margins are higher than ever before, and yet the workers are struggling more and more.

The inflation out there of of the price of everything is, is getting so high, and yet wages are not going up.

Wages are not going up nearly as much as the cost of beans at the store are, or the cost of cars or the cost of services for anything out there, and so there's just this General um belief that that UPS can make a much better offer if they're, making so much money, they should be able to pay their workers more money out.

There.

There's also demands putting AC units into every single UPS vehicle which I don't know.

If that's, realistic um actually I've had at least one of you who was an UPS worker saying.

That's really not a realistic uh demand but wages up of Health Care issues and just general around the way improvements of the packages that that UPS workers are at especially the fact that there are two two levels of UPS workers there's there's uh the part-time workers and then there's the full-time workers and they're being treated extremely differently even if the part-time workers are getting more hours out there they're still not being treated equally to full-time workers and there really shouldn't be a two-tier system but there is and so that's part of the issue issue that they have out there if you guys are part of the UPS if you're UPS workers if you're part of these negotiations or whatever and you can share stuff please do don't hesitate to email.

Me at poplarpreparedness.

Gmail.Com, you can also pop things in the comments down below.

If you guys know stuff about these negotiations.

Or about other supply chain issues.

Just use the word update in a comment and I'll see those in the next number of days.

Uh also just keep in mind that that we're not just talking about UPS out there either.

We have other supply chain disruptions happening as well, and we have tremendous issues happening on farms.

We can't get parts and in a lot of these uh, we heard from parts dealers and and truck repair places and and tractor repair places that they're not stocking the parts and that they are waiting for just-in-time delivery to deliver those parts.

Once someone says you know, do you have X part, they say well, we got to put it in the system and we've got to send an order from the warehouse to get it out here, because they don't have the parts on hand at the shops.

They don't have Parts.

They used to have a lot more parts on hand and is it short of it and so with the requirements of them.

Depending on these delivery options, they've been able to do that with UPS and FedEx, just chomping at the bid to come, compete for this business, but yet we're now seeing that with UPS potentially going offline for day these weeks last time they went on strike, I blew.

It was for 10 days, correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe it was 10 days and that just that really dented uh the US economy, and that was before we had online uh buying, and that was before.

We had a lot of dependency.

That package service like UPS, FedEx, Amazon and all this delivery.

The the volume of that has skyrocketed a lot more stuff back then, was being moved through the official channels to like Walmarts and through other stores and goods we're getting to people through their distribution centers, which were their stores not getting delivered directly to their homes, which is what is now happening, and this this is just going to be, unlike anything, we've experienced before.

So what can you do? Well, one um! If, if you still have some Freedom seeds that you need to get for your boomsticks, you might want to go ahead and order those right now, there's probably some July 4th weekend deals out there.

I haven't looked myself I'm all stocked up because, like I said, I've been seeing this coming and I've been telling you guys this is coming.

But now is the crunch time.

If there's some things that you need to order that may need to come through UPS, you may need to order those right now doing that right now before the whole crunch will probably save you a whole bunch of grief.

When things slow down, will things start appearing? Will packages go off the rails? I, don't know? Well, certain shipments and packages get lost completely I, don't know, but do you want your packages to get lost in the mix? You probably don't so make those purchases now think ahead be prepared to not order anything offline for, however long it's going to take for them to to strike and then for them to get back up to working and operating again will they be able to strike for very long without the federal government getting involved? Without you know, chaos ensuing I think that pretty soon after they strike there's going to be a cry heard around the world that is going to bring it to a halt.

That would seem to be the case.

I don't see.

A long-term strike I still have hope that this will be averted beforehand, but the people on the street are saying no, the president of the uh of the Union uh Sean O'brien, says the largest single employer strike in U.S.

History now appears inevitable, and that's of course, are speaking about the UPS strike.

So we've got a number of weeks.

You have July, but of course you don't want to be ordering things right against the deadline so that your packages are caught in transit.

So now is a purchasing time.

If you can and then be prepared to not make some purchases for a while to keep some strain off the system, all right folks, if you guys have some further insights, please do don't don't hesitate to share thanks so much for watching this video.
