    Teamsters didn't get everything they asked for. There are still two tiers (just a different set), for example. Bargaining was closed so we don't really know what initial bargaining demands were. And the reform movements were demanding $25/hour base pay, which they didn't get.

    UPS execs are very happy about the result.
