CHRISTMAS and January sales deliveries could face major delays as 2,000 UPS workers begin balloting for strike action.
The vote, which opened this week and closes on December 3, follows a pay dispute.

Unite says staff rejected a 2.8% rise for 2025 and 3.2% for 2026, below the latest RPI measure of inflation at about 4.5%.
Any walkouts could start in mid‑December, hitting last‑minute gifts and Boxing Day purchases.
Unite says retailers that typically use UPS include Apple, Amazon, Dell and Louis Vuitton.
