UPS and the package wars
That was a really good piece. I&#x27;d encourage everyone to read it in its entirety before getting the urge to comment here based on just the title (as is usually the case).<p>While the article is expectedly one-sided, it does touch upon the changed environment in the delivery sector and labor in America in general. This is no longer a David vs Goliath contest like the last UPS strike in the 90s went. Amazon is now the Goliath. The gig economy is the Goliath. UPS itself is helpless in the face of these developments. A striking UPS driver with stable hours, a 6-figure salary, benefits and a pension&#x2F;retirement fund is going to get far less sympathy from the public today than 20 years ago. But then is there any alternative other than to sit by and let their job become another Amazon or DoorDash?
