The Real Reason: "UPS is union busting".

I was wondering why Amazon is moving to its own delivery service and why UPS is selling. I did a quick search and noticed UPS Tucking is unionized

So UPS wants to dump the union before the new US admin starts looking at Labor.




The rest of UPS has a union as well. This is not the reason. Why make this reason up?

Have friends at UPS, can confirm it's all union, and it's really baked into their culture.


the drivers on the brown delivery vans are unionized too, as opposed to FedEx, which uses all contractors.


As does Amazon. You can tell by the driver's yellow badges. Not that Amazon is trying to hide that, so.


UPS already is a union shop.

Selling an LTL business doesn't change anything...
