What about FedEx? Will they deliver? Post office?
Hearing some of the stories about union thuggery out of Illinois, I can’t say that I blame UPS - I do however agree with you completely. I’m just pointing out that it may be UPS policy out of fear for employee and equipment safety.
I stopped using UPS years ago unless absolutely necessary when they refused to ship a scope for me because the box said it was intended for long eye-relief installations including scout rifles and pistols. The punk kid at the desk smarmily declared that he wouldn’t ship it because it was a handgun part. The manager refused to discipline him. That location never gets my business, and UPS has lost about $500 from me as a result.
This is also why FedEx has effectively killed the bill by telling the U.S. government that it would cancel its next large order of new Boeing aircraft if that law is passed. That threat basically removed support for the law among Democrats in a number of states where Boeing has a large presence.
The Teamster Union has the labor contract with UPS. If one was to choose the bad guy here, I’d say the Teamsters as they have a long reputation of being in your face on union issues. UPS has to go along to get along.
guess they call them Big Brown for a reason
Don’t forget to take advantage of the ones
God has sent to you. They may want to harm
you, but God means it for His good purpose.
Tell the Union Representatives about the
greatest Labor of Love Union in the universe.
Tell them about Jesus! Either they will come
back for more, send others, or they will not
return. Win! Win! Win!
His forever...
NOTE: I will not be quick to conclude this
story is true. Many of these “true stories”
are designed to slander competition.
My Opinion
Interesting.
FedEx where possible, and if I have to USPS (yes, I know). The only time I use UPS is if that is the only method available from the sender.
Unions are the storm troopers of socialism. UPS becomes a useful idiot.
I won’t order from anybody that uses UPS exclusively.
UPS can’t follow instructions, even when their records show them repeated 3 times.
Good post. I’m in a union (police officer). I wonder what would happen if we refused to respond to a non-union location. Ha!
...walk up and hand them written notice that you are cancelling your account with them, and are instead switching to FedEx...
...turn to the picketers, and say "Thanks guys!"
Use DHL.
UPoS ping!
As a UAW member “in good standing” I have to say good for you. This union I belong to is a group of ignorant, bigoted, fools that are clueless to the realities of the world we live in.
