Stopped using UPS years ago, they are not as user friendly as other services. This strike could be the death of UPS. Amazon will adjust its deliveries and use other services or route more stuff through the USPS. Once major corporation’s switch to another user, unless the services is really bad, they will not re-calibrate and go back to the old service. Too much of a hassle switching back and forth, especially if the strike goes longer than a week or two.
I thought the same thing - it will kill UPS. And the union's response makes me suspect they are fine with that, as long as they get to TAKE OVER the corpse that remains, kinda like GM in 2009. They could do it, after all, because they have Obama 2.0 in the White House.
“other services”
LOL
Ironically, having been one to lambast UPS for decades, in our area the service has improved dramatically the past 10 years.
In fact, UPS is the only one who can repetitively deliver our packages to our house (as opposed to USPS and FedEx who repetitively deliver to the wrong house).
I don’t have an opinion here other than to cite the poor effect of unionization on a company which pays drivers a reported $95k/year to deliver inconsistent/spotty/poor service and then threaten to tear down the whole game over a few bargaining points.
i.e., competition is a good thing, and I do not believe UPS is ‘too big to fail’...but I’m sure some would disagree.
