1. May not have the effect they are lookinf for.

Strikes are about forcing management to the bargaining table.
Usually works, until you run into a Reagan.
Now we have a psuedo prez. who really does not care a bit about other people and who loves to fight, attack and bully.

2. At work in a meeting they just discussed that they were opening accounts within Fedex

Even the threat of a strike was enough to switch them from an exclusive relationship with UPS to doing both.


I’m curious how it plays out long term.

3. Won't affect me.

I use USPS for 99 pct of my mailing.

4. I don't see anything out of line with their issues....

From the article linked in the OP
"The vote comes after several rounds of negotiations, in which the union requested various items, including an increase in the part-time starting wage, increases to the company's contributions to the health and welfare and pension funds, and improvements to overtime pensions."
