Nice work Teamsters. Big suck-sess.

They'll continue to get my business, anyway. FedEx in my area is a
royal disaster. When they're pressed for time, it seems they "mis"
deliver your package anywhere they want, mark it delivered (cha-ching!
made my quota!) and then wait for the phones to start ringing to fix it.

UPS announced Tuesday that it will cut 12,000 jobs as part of a bid to
save $1 billion costs. Managers and contractor positions will make up
most of the layoffs.

The job cuts come as UPS issued a disappointing sales outlook for this
year, saying it expects global revenue of between $92 billion to $94.5
billion. That would be up from the $91 billion in revenue it reported
for 2023, but analysts surveyed by Refinitiv had been expecting
revenue of at least $95.6 billion.

In earlier days, Fed and a few others did not like making rural
deliveries.

But now, its not uncommon to have package dropped at local USPS, then
delivered by USPS.

Very seldom do I have an issue with UPS. Sometimes, the package is
delivered a day later in their busy season. Drivers are limited in
their work hours (federal requirement), and can't make the full run
legally.
