Grammar
UPS's Finest
Hi, I work at UPS, which is of course an abreviation for 'United Parcel Service'.
The Supervisors there have started wearing shirts with the phrase "UPS's Finest" printed on the back.
I wanted to check with experts to find out if that is grammatically correct, or if it should say UPS' finest.
I was unsure of the rules for an abreviation ending in an 'S'.
Thank you. I would doubt such a large company would make a grammatical error, but weirder things have happened.
They want me to become a supervisor, and I'm looking for reasons to not do it, so if they don't understand proper English, I will cite that as a reason!

I wonder why you would not want to be a supervisor... but if you need a reason, you'll have to look for something else.
