Description
""An incisive history" of how a bicycle messenger service in Seattle became a global behemoth, and the labor battles along the way ( Dissent ). We may see their trademark brown trucks everywhere today, but few people know the behind-the-scenes story of United Parcel Service and how it became one of America's most admired companies. This book reveals how UPS managed to displace General Motors-the very symbol of American capitalism-to become the largest private-sector unionized employer in the United States; its long, tumultuous history with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters; and its effects on its workers and surrounding communities. It also explores the question of its future in the age of Amazon-as it battles to hold on to the throne of the Package King. "Get a copy of Allen's book for yourself and then pass it on to a UPS driver the next time you get a delivery. She is part of the most organized section of what is possibly the most important industry in 21st-century capitalism, and the outcome of her story will have a lot to do with what our world looks like on the other side of this pandemic." - Indypendent"--,Provided by Freading.
