The good news is that there are plenty of other companies that make cardboard boxes. Buy from them.
The problem is uline is a 1 stop shop for many businesses to buy a whole range of supplies, not just boxes. At my last job basically everything in the office came from uline, including the desks, trash cans, hand soap, mops, the disposable cups in the kitchen, and many of the warning signs plastered around the machine shop. The problem was known then but we weren’t successful in convincing them to replace uline with 5-10 other separate companies.
Still though, supporting other companies is still worth the hassle. F**K ULINE
Yes I clearly agree, but convincing upper management of that isn’t always as straightforward as suggesting another cardboard box supplier as the other commenter suggested.
Yeah, I agree with you on that,
Pretty sure they also have a lot of government/medical contracts. I helped put together fentanyl test kits for the state, and I’m pretty sure almost everything was Uline branded.
They are major funders to groups spreading election falsehoods, including Restoration of America, which, according to an internal document obtained by ProPublica, aims to “get on God’s side of the issues and stay there” and “punish leftists.”
Since there is no God, this obsession with punishment makes me think that rich people simply see themselves as God through some sort of schizophrenic projection. But they can’t tell people that, so instead they’re “doing God’s work” which is itself an insane statement, but somehow carries enough credibility that entire corporations, governments, and religions are centered on it.
I wish the box industry were as boring as portrayed in The Simpsons.
What sucks is that uline is a difficult company to boycott, for a regular person. My workplace orders a lot of supplies from uline, and it’s not like I can convince them to buy from somewhere else because 1. Corporate handles administrative stuff like that and 2. At least one of my managers is definitely MAGA.
I switched suppliers some years ago after learning about this. Switched to Global Industrial.
There are no non-evil companies.
Eventually you reach a CEO who only cares about his money. And we all know exactly which
pedophileparty they support.The CEOs support both parties
They fuel election denial when they are sold. Not when they sit in your home. Not when they are reused to pack or ship something else.
What a dumb fucking article. The last thing you want people doing is throwing out or recycling Uline boxes and then forgetting the controversy and buying more down the road.
This company and family are a pox on our state, impeding the will of the people through massive campaign funding and lobbying.
I had no idea uline was evil. I liked their gifts!
I remember reading a weird pro trump op Ed in their catalogue in like 2016. It was extremely weird
If you get their catalogs, read the letter from their CEO. It’s a heap of maga-pandering garbage.
Yikes! I always just tossed it into the recycle bin!
As you should. But not before learning about how minorities are takin yer jerbs.
I somehow missed this or forgot about it
this family needs some anon attention
Do people’s cardboard boxes talk? Cause mine don’t.
shoots the cardboard box
It’s okay everyone, I have saved the day!
cheering and applause, world peace and eliminating famine are achieved
