What are the authors or the publications' connections to the Teamsters union to write this UPS puff-piece/AMZN hitpiece?
All logistics companies have accidents.

Second, even if the reporters are unionized, the managers, who are the ones who greenlight stories, especially ones that involve a yearlong investigation, certainly are not.
Third, of course all logistics companies have accidents. Maybe you failed to read the article because it spent plenty of time detailing the differences between UPS and these 3PL companies.
That said, the Teamsters Union specifically has been putting a ton of money into bad PR for Amazon.
They've directly funded staged protests at AWS Summits in NY the last few years. They are a powerful union with deep pockets and connections.
Also with the economic realities of journalism in this era, many news articles are literally PR pieces written and provided to journalists for publication. Most of this is undisclosed.
I think it's perfectly valid to call out what this article looks like and at least ask questions, as there are folks out there with more resources than I have to follow up on this. It isn't an attack, because I didn't make a statement -- I asked a question.
