United Parcel Service Inc. said it reached a tentative contract with unionized mechanics and other U.S. workers at its in-house airline.
The five-year deal would take the top hourly wage for a UPS aircraft mechanic to $43 from $30.67 but must be approved by 1,140 members of Teamsters Local 2727.
The same workers last spring rejected an earlier deal despite endorsements from union leaders and forced a second round of bargaining guided by a federal mediator.
