The scenario shows centrality contigency of power. We can understand centrality as:

Employees and Employers had many conflicts between them over the period of time. They definitely met with more conflicts in future this concept is known as centrality. This decides how much and who will be affected from this.

We can understand about this from a company who has many branches and offices but they have one head office. The decisions they take will affects all of their branches and outlets.

People who owns small outlets and branches can take decisions if they not likes the decision from head office. This is what centrality is. If all of these workers or people who owns outlets go on strike then this creates difficult situation for the company to full the demands of consumers. This is known as centrality.

In this case also if workers effectively shut down UPS during the strike. Then, Without the workers, UPS simply could not do business.

The reason behind this is known as centrality of contigency of power.
