"The AP is not in trouble," said Julie Pace, executive editor and senior vice president of the AP. "We're making these changes from a position of strength but we're doing so now to recognize our changing customer base."

They aren't competing with Amazon, they are working for Amazon. Amazon was using UPS for deliveries, but being Amazon they demanded terms that were simply unprofitable for UPS.
In my mind they are competing with Amazon since they wanted to be a delivery service for them. I agree UPS couldn't profit based on the terms but that's competition too.
