UPS and Teamsters Strike Teeters Over Pension Fund Split
During the second week of the UPS strike, the company seeks a separate benefit fund while pressuring unions over pension and health payments. Estimates place weekly losses at up to 300 million, with unions claiming about 10 million in strike benefits owed. Clinton administration declines intervention, deeming safety not at risk, urging bargaining resumes. Talks show limited progress as UPS pushes direct employee votes and union demands more full-time jobs.

Rent-to-own debate highlights hidden costs and access benefits
A spokesman argues listing total purchase price is clearer than APR and rent-to-own helps those lacking alternatives. Critics say contracts mask high annual interest rates, with USPIRG citing average rates near 100 percent and up to 275 percent. Proponents say the model serves short term needs, especially for students and low income workers, with most customers renting only about three months and many using ownership options.
