MODERATORS
UPS employees overwhelmingly agreed to go on strike if their demands aren't met by July 31st. These Amazon drivers are on strike now - all 84 of them, at one facility, obviously. They're like the Boston Tea Party.
By contrast, there are 340k Teamsters working for UPS. Their forming picket lines will grind things to a halt in really short order. Good on those Amazon drivers! Hope others join in solidarity.
