    This article is about UPS(United Parcel Service) and not the USPS(United States Postal Service). UPS is a publically traded company.

      The implication is that the disruption to UPS’s service will drive business to the USPS.

        USPS usually handles the last mile. Guess what big company handles the other miles for them.

          Guess what big company has no obligation to deliver to anyone ever? You know who does have that obligation? No matter where in the country you live? The U.S. Postal Service.

            What I’m saying is the strike will not be a boon for USPS as much as people seem to think. On the one hand they have government officials trying to get rid of it, on the other, to cut costs, they’ve offloaded a lot of their shipping to other companies like UPS, FedEx, etc. They’re going to feel the effects of the strike in a negative way. I agree with the guy quoted in the article that the other shipping companies like FedEx and DHL will be the ones getting the increased business. and they don’t have a union.
