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.

If we divide, we'll be conquered. That wisom is at least two thousand years old by now. Better to unite and defy.

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.
