I was working at the Postal Hub out at their old facility when UPS went on strike.
over twenty years ago.
It created havoc and backups unlike anything I had ever seen before or since.
It was hell trying to do anything.
It was the absolute worst thing that ever had happened at the U.S. Postal Hub.
Truck were lined up for miles. Could not get anymore trucks in or out because
the mail and freight could not be processed. There literally was no room for
additional mail. It had to be staged outside, because no more could fit inside.
It only took a little over 24 hours of that strike to utterly shut everything down.
