IdiotMachine 06/29/23 11:05:28 AM #1:	https://teamster.org/2023/06/teamsters-nationwide-ups-strike-is-imminent/ (WASHINGTON) Today, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters walked away from the national bargaining table and officially demanded UPS exchange its last, best, and final offer no later than June 30. With a deadline of Friday to return a last, best, and final offer, UPS risks putting itself on strike by August 1 and causing devastating disruptions to the supply chain in the U.S. and other parts of the world. Teamsters nationwide overwhelmingly authorized a strike this month by 97 percent should UPS fail to come to terms on a new contract.

MisterPengy 06/29/23 11:19:28 AM #7:	Last time I looked into working for UPS it was difficult, if not impossible to start as a delivery driver, unless you already did that for another company. And their warehouse paid 10 bucks an hour, 20 hours a week, maximum. Who is supposed to be able to live off of that? --- Bosses are immune to the eat command so it won't be possible to end the final boss fight of the game by eating it. -VeghEsther <cite>MisterPengy posted [p:974505921] in UPS Strike...

I worked for my country's equivalent to UPS so I'm interested to know. Our union was pretty good I believe, but of course the company did its best to do things behind its back. Teamsters is really ass, but a union for jobs for UPS is better than not having a union. In comparison, UPS pays their couriers very well especially compared to Fedex. UPS starts out at $23 a hour and tops out at $40, while Fedex starts at $14 a hour and has no definitive cap because most of their drivers are not actually employees due to them mostly outsourced by contractors. However UPS working conditions are abysmal. Their routes are very strict and if you don't perform you will be let go. You also cannot become a driver right away, you have to work as a package handler for as much as 2 years before you're given keys to drive. If you have any experience with package handling at any warehouse job, you know it's easily the worst job you can have in regards to pay to work ratio. --- SNARGLEBLAGH <cite>Lord_Ephraim posted [p:974523527] in UPS Strike...

josiskrazy 07/05/23 2:14:35 PM #43:	I worked as a driver from the summer of 2020 to the end of it, and whole it paid good, worst job of my life. UPS expects you to be there at 9am and will keep you on the road til 11pm if they have too. They will give you so much shit for having packages left if after that. Not to mention the heat and and to overall quality of the trucks, your handheld with the address and gps on it isn't working? Tough luck use your phone and punch in each address manually. All of the other guys are seniority higher so they're all pretty much asshole. While I stand with the union and understand seniority standing has it merits, doesn't change the fact those guys were fuck you you and you if you're a new guy. I was also sent to a location during the winter that was 1hr away from me, so I'm expect to be there at 9am and be done at 11pm and return the next day at 9am. It was hell trying to get them to pay for my hotel, they eventually did for 3 days after 2 weeks of asking for it.
