1·
1 year agoUPS employees overwhelmingly agreed to go on strike if their demands aren’t met by July 31st. These Amazon drivers are on strike now - all 84 of them, at one facility, obviously. They’re like the Boston Tea Party.
By contrast, there are 340k Teamsters working for UPS. Their forming picket lines will grind things to a halt in really short order. Good on those Amazon drivers! Hope others join in solidarity.
Kind of a wash - I’ve always been a RiF devotee. I might have rejected Sync if it wasn’t compact enough, or I didn’t realize it could be set that way - I’ve always placed a premium on cramming the most info onto a screen as I can. Which is why I was drawn to /. and then reddit, and can’t stand FB etc.
