I would normally agree with you, but from what I understand FedEx doesn't have union and nether does Amazon so that did place them in a tough spot.
I'm not saying that I don't support their employees striking, I'm saying the others should be required to have unions too.
Oh, they absolutely should! As @admiralteal says above, the best play for UPS is to go pro-union and start lobbying that all of their competitors should also be required to have unions! Win for workers, win for UPS.
The executives in charge of these organizations would sooner destroy the entire company than be seen willingly acquiescing to their worker's requests. The C-suite at this large of an entity tend to actively revile the rank and file workers, they truly view them as subhuman beggar urchins, crowding around them to try and peel scraps of money away from them, the "real earners". Giving workers a "win", even when it's the smart business move, would destroy their credibility in their entire social circle and would likely lead to the prompt end of their positions.
