US labor secretary sees no need as of now to step into talks between UPS, Teamsters union

WASHINGTON, July 7 (Reuters) - Acting U.S. Labor Secretary Julie Su said on Friday she does not see a need at this stage to step in to urge parties to reach a deal in the contract talks between the Teamsters Union and United Parcel Service.

"That is right," Su said on CNN when asked if she felt there was no need for her to step in at this stage. She added she expected the bargaining process to be respected by the parties. (Reporting by Kanishka Singh in Washington)
