    This is pretty incredible news.

    Far as I can recall this is the first significant Union gain in a while.

    Which makes me wonder which way will go from here.

    A) Amazon drivers will get similar benefits? B) UPS will never again put themselves in the position where they fall behind Amazon competitively.

      For A) to happen, we need to unionize Amazon. That’s gonna be a tall order, but it’s one we need to tackle head on.
