A UPS strike could spread disruptions like that across much of the country.

CNN: strikes are wrong when a Dim is president. Wait until a Republican is president and strikes are noble and uplifting and standing up against evil corporations or whatever.

Q: Why doesn’t the Post Office ever go on strike?

If they are asking for reasonable raises then perhaps they should give it to them. Kinda hard living on wages pre pandemic I would imagine.

It’s all good.
The dependable, reliable USPS will fill-in, nicely.
NOT!

So brown trucks sidelined and not delivering imported goods will wreck who’s economy?

[Brandonmark]

FedEx still available? Amazon? Post Office? Uber?

A UPS strike would make my day quieter.

Local drivers go like hell on gravel road & often DO NOT STOP for the corner stop sign.

I can hear them from a quarter mile away-—

we don’t have regular UPS delivery, where we live. We have contract drivers. It is all tied up with Amazon and the Post Office. If you live outside of town, your packages get dropped off at the post office for delivery. The problem is that our post office cannot get enough drivers. It is so bad that the post office only delivers mail three times a week and packages have to be picked up at the post office.

The Post Office says that 6hey have the money to hire 20 workers, but no one wants the jobs. The reason is that there are no benefits with these jobs. My guess is that the UPS contract jobs pay no benefits, either.

You have to realize that the port slow downs on the west coast are all being run by the openly communist ILWU. That is where it starts and it just spreads out from there.

During the election year (we have all mail in voting) the Postmaster General sent workers to our town from other post offices, but the didn’t deliver packages or even the Mail. We are warned not to use the mail for voting, to use the drop box, instead. You might think that sounds more secure, but it isn’t because you don’t know who has the keys.

Big companies and big unions almost always settle their negotiations with a day or two of a scheduled strike. Union has to stretch out negotiations to get their members they got the best deal possible. Same for company negotiators with their stockholders.

There is not going to be a strike. If there is one, it won’t be for more than a day or two.
