    Netflix Forced To Redesign Shipping Envelopes

    It sounds typical BS union crap from postal workers. Come on guys. We are paying you for your services to transport our goods. It was a rate that you charged us from the beginning, that we agreed to. These guys really have to put up or shut up. It's the rate they came up with from the get-go.
