Reason TV: UPS’ War on Fed Ex
ByReason TV’s Nick Gillespie explains the contemptible attempt by UPS to screw over FedEx.
You may have heard the UPS is in quite the political fight with FEDEX. Though both are package-delivery companies, they’re governed by totally different federal labor rules. As a result, UPS’s workforce is much more heavily unionized than FEDEX’s—and more than twice as expensive.
So now UPS is trying to get FEDEX reclassified under federal law as a way of screwing a competitor. That’s horrendous, but it also makes a sick kind of business sense. And it also reveals the real villain: A government that is big enough to absolutely, positively guarantee it can screw any business. Overnight.
I won’t be asking what Brown can do for me anytime soon.

-UPS doesn’t deliver on a weekends
-I always have the most hassles with their deliveries.
-The only damaged delivey I’ve ever had was with
UPS
-IMO UPS is too much like USPS.
Brown is the appropriate color!
Thanks for the laugh about big government having the ability to screw any business….overnight. Come on, we gotta laugh.
You’ve got that right, Soldier. Otherwise we’d go insane:)
