The union representing pilots flying cargo planes for UPS says they will not cross picket lines if Teamsters strike next month, a spokesperson for the Independent Pilots Association confirmed to CNN

The union representing 3,400 pilots has vowed solidarity “by not ‘turning an aircraft wheel’ on behalf of the company,” which could spell even deeper disruptions for the worldwide shipper. The heads of the two unions say in letters to each other that their support proved pivotal during a previous Teamsters strike in 1997.

“With losing UPS’s air force, it effectively eliminates time sensitive shipments,” said Jason Miller, Interim Chairperson for the Department of Supply Chain Management at Michigan State. “Time sensitive shipments will become impossible to handle. Such as high value spare parts, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, anything of high value or high opportunity cost” Without UPS’ Pilots – the company will not be able to move anything from California to New York in a day.
