I’m not sure what you’re taking issue with. UPS has twice as many union members as the big three combined. The Teamsters as a whole represent 3 times as many members as the UAW does in total. Perhaps the UAW has a larger war chest, I’m sure the NEA spends more lobbying, but no union in the country has a bigger hammer than the Teamsters. Longshoremen are probably close and rail workers would if they were allowed to strike. Also to say nothing similar exists in Amazon’s industry is to ignore the core of Teamsters membership, transportation and warehousing. I’m not trying to be combative, I hope the UAW gets to piss in Elon’s Cheerios on the daily.
