It seems that union members that work for UPS felt pressured and intimidated by union thug leaders to take their personal time to participate in envelope stuffing sessions where mailings attacking FedEx were gathered and set up for the post office.

Typical Union Boss intimidation...
It’s never about the workers, it’s about the power.

The problem being is that in states such as mine, you often HAVE to join a union as condition of employment.
Nevertheless, the Teamsters, SEIU, and the Healthcare (nurses and orderlies) unions are always out canvassing for Dem candidates around here.

Just wait until FedEx does something like hiring Blackwater to defend their installations. Watch the Left freak-out when that happens.

I know I live in one of those states as well. It is a scam and a travesty.
