    or acquiesce to Teamster demands that could worsen the company’s labor cost disadvantage versus nonunion rivals in an inflationary environment.

    If the Teamsters negotiate a good deal, I feel like it’d create more pressure for other shippers to unionize… Also, this corpo-speak is atrocious.
