I just read the NYT article on my phone and this seems like an exceptional win for the workers. The small business I work at uses UPS exclusively because Fedex charges so much for daily pickup so I would have had to run to USPS every day with a car full of packages but I would have gladly done so until the UPS workers got what they needed. It really looks to me, based on what I read in the article, that UPS didn't really push back too much at the end there.

UPS or USPS?

We use UPS. I would have had to use USPS, which is the United States Postal Service. They're a LOT slower. Plus my local post office is always crowded and it takes forever.
