FedEx is being deliberately destroyed by Amazon. I would love to see it unionize, but it’s arguably not going to exist in another few years as a major player.

Unionization of Amazon delivery systems would have much more ongoing impact. Over-the-road and last-mile have to happen in the US; they can’t be off-shored.

    FedEx is used a ton by businesses. We use it constantly. FedEx Next Day Air is really useful.

    As I understand it, it’s a niche provider compared to where it was 10 years ago. When was the last time you got a FedEx package from a major retailer? I order shit constantly and can’t remember getting one in maybe a year.

    And, if you visit one of their distro centers, they are pale shades of what they were a decade ago, with a fraction of the employees and the vibe of a dying enterprise. Last time I had to hit our local distro center, there were two employees in the entire back area and a giant pile of undeliverable/lost packages in the waiting area.

    Maybe it varies by location? I get FedEx all the time. Chewy always uses FedEx for my shipments. I love them because they'll actually deliver to my porch instead of leaving it on the front steps (looking at you, UPS).
