    Well, that just makes sense. Our economy depends on being able to reliably ship boxes all over the place. The people who actually do the work of shipping those boxes should have a decent workplace … and their bargaining power should be bloody frickin’ formidable.

    Betcha a dollar that Biden steps in. If the Fed stepped in to end the rail strike, why wouldn’t they stop UPS teamsters? UPS moves 6 or 8 percent of the nations gdp every day (or so I’ve heard).

    But they should strike. Working conditions are abysmal for those guys.
