United Parcel Service (NYSE: UPS) stock was a winner on Monday, rising by 2.5% in price after encouraging news about an important labor negotiation hit the headlines. That performance easily topped that of the S&P 500 index, which saw a bump of barely over 0.1% on the day.
UPS and the large, influential Teamsters union are currently locked in negotiations over a new contract for the company's workers. The current one expires on July 31, and both parties are eager to have an acceptable replacement before that date.
The latest offer from UPS was handed over Friday afternoon. Encouragingly, the Teamsters indicated that it was an improvement over the logistics giant's previous proposals.
