"The U.S. mail is not for sale!"

A White House spokesperson said "no such executive order was planned."

The Washington Post

"I think there are a lot of people on both sides of the aisle that would oppose efforts to privatize."

"I am not currently expecting the administration to push that kind of proposal."

"With much more runway ahead of them, they may very well focus on privatization."

"We didn't finish the job in the first term, but we should finish it now."

"Yes"

It's something "we're looking at."

Union victories come at a steep price when companies respond to inflated labor costs with massive layoffs. After celebrating a deal that pays full-time drivers $170,000 annually, UPS now plans to cut 30,000 jobs. This is the predictable consequence of pushing wages beyond sustainable levels.

UPS is slashing jobs not because of financial trouble but to pad profit margins for Wall Street after making nearly $9 billion in profits. The company paid out $6.4 billion to shareholders and spent another billion on stock buybacks while cutting workers. This restructuring prioritizes corporate greed over the employees who endure brutal conditions to generate those billions.

UPS delivered exceptional fourth-quarter results with $2.38 adjusted earnings per share while executing a strategic transformation that's positioning the company for sustained margin expansion. The completion of the Amazon volume glide-down marks a critical inflection point, allowing UPS to focus on higher-margin business and achieve remarkable revenue quality improvements with an 8.3% increase in revenue per piece domestically. This disciplined approach generated $3.5 billion in cost savings during 2025.

UPS raked in nearly $9 billion in profits for the second consecutive year yet still slashed tens of thousands of jobs, proving this restructuring has nothing to do with financial necessity and everything to do with Wall Street greed. The company dumped $6.4 billion into shareholder pockets and wasted another billion on stock buybacks while eliminating good union jobs. CEO Carol Tome's "better not bigger" strategy prioritizes profit margins over workers who brave brutal conditions to generate those billions.
