Possibility of UPS selling small package to Amazon?

[shalang]

This has been floating around my building since Tome came into power, specifically small package. She invested her own money into the company right when she got in, which makes it seem even more of a coincidence.

However I've been hearing it circulate even more now due to the strike. Anyone see this as a possibility or has heard about this? If it did, I'm guessing the union would be gutted out while they still keep the logo. The shareholders would also be the winners due to the merger.

If possible that is scary indeed knowing the amount of money Bezo's (or rather Amazon) has at their disposal.

Nope.

BuG posted the language

Plus it would cause issues in their other non union buildings

So, no... the union does not just go away because a non union company acquires them, and for that reason amount many others amazon would have zero interest in UPS

Thank you guys for lessening some of my worries during this time. Will pass this information off to the guys in the hub who were also wondering.

Does this apply if the contact isnt ratified by July 31st? Thats where I'm confused.

Thank you!

Don't just share this info, there's a whole book of info you all should discuss regularly.

I agree. The problem is while it may look like plain speech to many, some of us aren't that bright and get confused on the verbiage. But you're 100% correct.

Seriously. Last contract or two back we had a poster that said UPS was going to close Worldport(you know, only the biggest Hub in the country) and just use it for storage. I don't know what it is about these contracts that just breed the most nonsensical crap that people come up with.

I don’t think there’s a chance in hell this would ever happen but it clearly says for the life of the contract. 2018-2023. What happens if and when the contract expires with no new deal?

The union has to be recognized and they are legally obligated to negotiate. Terms of the sale, that's why no one would want to buy it.

The only way for UPS to wipe out the Union is to fire every Union worker and lose some billions.

The nuclear option is to go bankrupt and wipe out all shareholders.

If we don't vote to decertify, that's about the only option.

Thats actually what I have been hearing as well. I should've specified.
