The Package King: A Rank and File History of United Parcel Service

The Package King is a critical history of one of the United States most iconic corporations and the evolution of an industry and how UPS workers responded to it at crucial turning points. It is ultimately a tale of hope. This book sees itself in the tradition of well-known 20th Century socialist author Upton Sinclairâ€™s â€œThe Flivver King: A Story of Ford-America.â€ Published originally by the UAW in 1937, the 200,000 copies that the union sold for 25 cents was part of its campaign to organize auto giant. It was a thinly fictionalized story of Henry Ford and the world he made. On The Flivver Kingâ€™s original cover, the UAW posed the following questions:

What is Henry Ford? What have the years done to him? What has his billion dollars made of him? Here also are his workers. What has the billion dollars done to them?

That last question could asked be easily asked of UPS today.
