The local fed ex sales rep, whom I’ve never even met in 20 years of doing business, has been in my office three times in the last month.
This person most likely has been in the territory for less than three years. Depending on your volume you may not have had a field rep aligned to you.

He keeps telling me if we don’t pay up
No, he didn’t. He’s going to offer you competitive rates comparable to what you have with UPS.

up they won’t be able to guarantee we’ll be prioritized and no guarantee they’ll pick up our shipments after Aug 1st.
Thousand percent true. Don’t be a moron and think you can shift capacity day of the strike.

I didn’t care for the aggressive sales tactics and told him I’d find another shipping company as needed if he couldn’t help us
Your option is UPS, FedEx, USPS and DHL Ecom outside of freight. Otherwise it’s just getting dumped back into the previous mentioned networks.

I’ll take my arse down to USPS and ship stuff rather than frick with that a-hole
Good luck with that.

Pay them
Part time workers?
UPS is literally among one of the best seasonal and part time employers out there in terms of benefits.
It isn't comparable.
My guess is...
Some of these part timers are in queue for full time jobs.
I.e. the full time pay and benefits are so good that they have a waiting list of future employees.
And the union (being a union... they have to periodically justify their existance) is bullying management for better conditions for these part time/seasonal employees (especially since a large enough percentage are waiting in line and playing low-man for their turn as a full-timer).
But if there were better part time opportunities out there, this wouldn't be a strike. The employees would go elsewhere.
This is just a ploy by the union to make itself useful. If there aren't enough conditions to complain about, sometimes you have to make them up.
