public company

UPS

A public parcel-delivery and logistics company competing with FedEx, DHL, USPS, Amazon Logistics, and local courier systems. UPS scores better than many logistics competitors on labor power because of its large Teamsters contract, but it remains a shareholder-governed carbon-intensive delivery network.

Why this matters: Shipping choices are everyday infrastructure choices; labor structure and emissions differ meaningfully across carriers.

Scoring Axes

Axis	Score	Why this score
Ownership ? Control rights: shareholder-dominated at 0, worker cooperative control at 10.	2 / 10	UPS is a shareholder-governed public company, so control is not held by workers, customers, or public-service stakeholders. UPS is a shareholder-governed public company, so control is not held by workers, customers, or public-service stakeholders. That keeps UPS low on Ownership: decisive control remains with shareholders, private owners, executives, or state insiders rather than affected people. The value is above zero only where the linked record still shows some real function, constraint, or public value on this axis. Linked evidence context UPS operates a global parcel-delivery, freight, and logistics network serving consumers and businesses through ground, air, and international services. [1] UPS is a shareholder-governed public company, so control is not held by workers, customers, or public-service stakeholders. [2] context UPS has one of the strongest private-sector labor structures in the U.S. logistics sector: the Teamsters represent more than 340,000 UPS workers under the largest private-sector collective-bargaining agreement in North America. [3] context UPS accepted a major 2023-2028 labor contract with higher wages, more full-time jobs, and workplace protections after intense bargaining pressure, describes conduct considered under Loss-Bearing Fidelity relative to nonunion logistics competitors. [4] context UPS is a carbon-intensive logistics company using ground fleets, aircraft, facilities, and global transport infrastructure; sustainability efforts reduce but do not eliminate the ordinary ecological burden of its core service. [5] context UPS package tracking, logistics optimization, account systems, and delivery proof create ordinary logistics surveillance of packages, addresses, routes, and customer interactions, though this pass found no platform-level consumer surveillance scandal. [6]
Governance ? Binding decision authority: centralized control at 0, democratic stakeholder control at 10.	2 / 10	UPS operates a global parcel-delivery, freight, and logistics network serving consumers and businesses through ground, air, and international services. UPS operates a global parcel-delivery, freight, and logistics network serving consumers and businesses through ground, air, and international services.

Extraction ? Surplus allocation, wage share, CEO pay ratio, margins, and structured extraction judgment.	3 / 10	UPS operates a global parcel-delivery, freight, and logistics network serving consumers and businesses through ground, air, and international services. UPS operates a global parcel-delivery, freight, and logistics network serving consumers and businesses through ground, air, and international services. That keeps UPS low on Extraction: the business model makes extraction from workers, users, suppliers, customers, or the public central rather than incidental.

[6]
Labor Sovereignty ? Worker power: coercive conditions at 0, co-determination or ownership at 7. Employee dissatisfaction matters only when source-backed evidence shows concrete limits on worker agency, such as coercive scheduling, retaliation, wage theft, harassment, unsafe conditions, suppression of worker voice, or extreme turnover.	5 / 7	UPS has one of the strongest private-sector labor structures in the U.S. logistics sector: the Teamsters represent more than 340,000 UPS workers under the largest private-sector collective-bargaining agreement in North America. UPS has one of the strongest private-sector labor structures in the U.S. logistics sector: the Teamsters represent more than 340,000 UPS workers under the largest private-sector collective-bargaining agreement in North America. That places UPS in the middle of Labor Sovereignty: workers or participants have some protection or agency, but not enough binding power to control the relationship. The value stays below the top tier because the linked record does not show full democratic control, non-extractive lock-in, or complete stakeholder protection on this axis. Linked evidence context UPS operates a global parcel-delivery, freight, and logistics network serving consumers and businesses through ground, air, and international services.

UPS operates a global parcel-delivery, freight, and logistics network serving consumers and businesses through ground, air, and international services. That places UPS in the middle of Solidarity with the Unemployed: some access, severance, retraining, openness, or mutual-aid value is present, but it is not central or durable.

Loss-Bearing Fidelity ? Willingness to absorb costs to preserve values, workers, users, and public obligations.	4 / 7	UPS accepted a major 2023-2028 labor contract with higher wages, more full-time jobs, and workplace protections after intense bargaining pressure, describes conduct considered under Loss-Bearing Fidelity relative to nonunion logistics competitors. UPS accepted a major 2023-2028 labor contract with higher wages, more full-time jobs, and workplace protections after intense bargaining pressure, describes conduct considered under Loss-Bearing Fidelity relative to nonunion logistics competitors. That places UPS in the middle of Loss-Bearing Fidelity: there is some willingness to preserve obligations, but the record still leaves meaningful risk-shifting concerns. The value stays below the top tier because the linked record does not show full democratic control, non-extractive lock-in, or complete stakeholder protection on this axis.

UPS operates a global parcel-delivery, freight, and logistics network serving consumers and businesses through ground, air, and international services. That places UPS in the middle of Market Conduct: the product has real value but still uses meaningful lock-in, gatekeeping, market power, or dependency.

UPS operates a global parcel-delivery, freight, and logistics network serving consumers and businesses through ground, air, and international services. That places UPS high on Product Integrity: the core offering is genuinely useful and comparatively less dependent on traps, degradation, or harmful dependencies. A still-higher or maximum value requires stronger proof that this structure is durable, broad, and not merely discretionary.
