Pension liability would be a major stumbling block.

And speaking of that, will the defined benefit pension plan make it past the next contract. From what you read its almost a thing of the past with a majority of companys.

They are indeed buying UPS, just as soon as they are done acuiring federal express, walmart, Starbucks, kellogs and general motors. In 5 years, we'll all be headed to work in our chevy alexas eating prime pop tarts, drinking prime latte, just to deliver packages people order off there echoes. Yes sir, the future is bright.

Uber has that covered.
Amazon spends almost 2 BILLION dollars of their own money each year just to make their sales look appealing to buyers by covering some of the shipping costs.
You think a company that profits almost 2 BILLION per quarter...aka.. UPS... will sell to a company like that?
Wait until Amazon workers demand fair pay and benefits...that 2B loss per year will grow even more.

don't hold your breath, the Amazon workers i know get free cappuccino and can play console video games on their breaks/lunch, plus the work is far simpler/easier for them
you think that workforce is going to crack before ours does? lol okay
Defined benefit pension was killed earlier this year for management and non-union employees. It's been closed to new participants since 2008 but now there is a date where they will stop contributing. There's no way they'll take it away from one group of employees and not try to take it away from others.
You think playing console video games and a cup of cappuccino will take care your family and pay your bills....lol, okay.
Apparently some people under estimate the actual size and wealth of UPS.
UPS management is not part of the Union , they don't work under a negotiated contract.

The kind of people Amazon hires look at those as benefits, and aren't terribly far-sighted.
