UPS is owned by the teamsters.
I suggest FedEx take them over as they aren't union...yet.

I think Fedex handles the actual shipping on a lot of the mail for the Post Office, there is supposed to be a contract in place between the USPS and Fedex to so.
I’ve mailed a couple of hundred packages in the past few years (mostly vacuum tubes sold on ebay) and have had very good luck with First Class Mail, in fact I don’t think a single package has been lost. Most of the packages are 6oz to 10oz in weight, which cost $2.00-$3.00 to ship. I get three day service from Atlanta to the West Coast, and two day delivery to a lot of the rest of the country.
I don’t have any issues at all with the actual delivery of mail, but don’t get me started on the poor service at some of the local Post Offices. I print all the mailing labels at home and never visit the Post Office unless it’s absolutely necessary.
