American economy has become too concentrated to a handful of companies. That makes America a fragile economy.
In a REAL capitalistic economy, a small shipping provider would have raised the capital immediately to capitalize on the strikes, advertised their services to UPSs customers and eaten the company away.
This would have put pressure on the company execs to negotiate fast, give in to worker demands (which are reasonable) just to not lose out on future earnings. If the execs succeeded, UPS would continue to live. If execs failed, the competitor would replace them.
That would have been capitalism but America is far too protective of large corporations.
