    Wow good for UPS workers. As a tech worker I can say I’m genuinely happy for them. They have a hard ass job. A win for labor is a win for labor, regardless of which type.

      And it’s not like their win is our loss. Why would we fight amongst ourselves? It’s the ultra-rich we should be sizing up.

        Exactly. This shouldn’t give anyone any feelings besides, “wow, I need to organize workers in my field too.” Full stop.

        These people are no different than the ones who were pissed that “burger flippers” were trying to make $15/hr minimum. Like…mind your own business—and by that I mean, right your business because you’re underpaid too.
