Actually, fellow Postal Employee, we have more guns than they do. And since
we can't strike torpedoing UPS via a strike would be a way for UPS to take a
level 3 hit, as per Corporate Shadowfiles.
IMHO, I believe the UPS strike that happened last year probably ended up being
a rating 2, and maybe, a rating 3 hit to their PAR rating.
