    By all means an interesting idea but the issue is ups corporate is going to do a few things with this hypothetical. In the short term they get more money (which could A) go to the strike fund or B) is going to be hard for a enough people to matter to get together and give even if temporary)

    Then corpos are going to see this increase in demand and see 2 things, something to propagand on and have an inflated number of “lost revenue”. It’s also possible they’ll see this as the public doesn’t care about the strike or workers rights

    And even if you get refunded the money because they can’t deliver then you have to go through UPS “support” or through your cc company. Both are not guaranteed to work and you could just end up giving them money for nothing or for a extra slow package you didn’t need.

    If you have the funds to do this then donate it to the strike fund you’ll be doing a lot better for price to action.
