  America’s largest private-sector package delivery service and the Teamsters Union representing 340,000 of its workers accused each other of walking away from negotiations over pay yesterday. The union plans to go on strike if a deal isn’t reached before the current contract expires on July 31, a move that could hobble supply chains and weigh on the US economy.

  Economists polled by the Wall Street Journal had forecast a gain of 220,000 private-sector jobs.
  

  
  
  Key details: Service-sector firms added 373,000 jobs in June, while goods-producing employment rose 124,000.
