I thought that was possible only because trains were involved? I know RR employees get weird carve outs on their taxes.
Taft-Hartley gives the president the authority to intervene in strikes if they could present a national emergency. Thanks to privatization, UPS is vital enough that it might qualify.
While I am not disagreeing with you, were that to happen, it would be definitive proof of the need to nationalize the industry. If we’re so reliant on a private corporation that its poor labor practice can effect a national emergency, then that corporation needs to be nationalized for the good of national security. Now, would they? Definitively not.
It is entirely logical to nationalize package deliver! We should have an organization that follows regular routes all across America and delivers whatever packages, etc. people need! We could call it something like UPS; maybe USPS?!
I get about as many deliveries by parcel post as by UPS. Nothing can stop the US Mail
<3 I love the USPS. Even with the DeJoy sabotage (why the fuck is that guy still in office?), they’re still the cheapest and most reliable carrier in my experience.
Even FedEx, UPS, etc will hand over packages to USPS if they think after a certain point it's unprofitable for them to deliver to that address.
