You probably have heard about the looming UPS strike. If you haven’t, the short of it is that negotiations between the company and teamsters have broken down on both sides and, with a deadline of July 30, a strike seems imminent.

CNN reported on the numbers, stating that a 10-day strike would hit affected businesses at a cost of $4.6 billion. The disruption, if realized, will have an effect on all business, especially small businesses and those in production and fulfillment, with few if any viable work-arounds.

There are steps that can be taken right now to mitigate the effects for the most urgent of deadlines.
