A threatened U.S. strike at United Parcel Service could be "one of the costliest in at least a century," topping $7 billion for a 10-day work stoppage, a think tank specializing in the economic impact of labor actions said on Thursday.

    This is all just media theatrics to amp up the perceived “economic damages” of a strike that the “country” will “suffer”, because they’re hoping to get the railroad treatment. They’re posing striking workers as some kind of economic terrorists. They probably have a multi-million dollar fruit basket on the way to the white house right now with a saccharine note pleading for a finely polished boot to descend upon their workers’ throats.
