USPS is an incredibly instructive example. Owned by the government it provides the cheapest postal services in the world and it breaks even.

It is almost totally unionized.

As you might have guessed by now I do not consider the US government a "model employer".

I am not sure citing a company that has no true competition, is "too big to fail", and can raise prices at will is a good example.

You may find post 69 of interest.
