No, that was mockery.

Why should they, when they can organize and collectively bargain for better working conditions?

I have no idea whether they were adequately compensated before or not.
I worked for UPS from 2008-2011 both as a pre-loader and as a driver, though not for long in the driver position. I still talk to the guys up there from time to time, they told me the top out pay for delivery drivers is $42/hour.

No, it wasn't. You really believe what you wrote. And you've yet to answer. Do you willingly give part of your paycheck to a union master?
The union just got them $49hr.

UPS would have only been hurting themselves if they did strike

I don't, but who wouldn't if it meant you brought home more money at the end of the week?

When I was in college I worked part time for UPS. At that time you had to pass a literacy/math test, drug test , and no accidents on your record.
I unloaded those damn pup trailers for a month before I was promoted to 'locate the package'.
At that time ,believe it or not , people would ship a package with just a name and a city, no street address. So daily I would have a pile of boxes that I used the city directory in order to get them to where they needed to go.
Just about everyone who works at UPS deserves a raise, it is hot,boring work. I would have stayed after graduating but I found the work boring and repetitive.

I put a big arse ammo buy in just in case they went on strike.
Posted on 7/25/23 at 2:54 pm to stout

Part time is $21/hr.
And guess what? these frickers are still going to be lazy and leave shite by the side of the road.

The part timers don't deliver packages so I doubt they leave anything on the side of the road. By all means though go apply.
