You mean fairly compensated?
So they shouldn't need to strike about pay since they are already fairly compensated. Thanks for clearing that up

You should probably give them AC in their trucks
ups drivers must buy and own their own trucks. what they have or dont have is the drivers choice, they dont get a/c because its cheaper on their fuel costs.
ups drivers are like a waitress, they get paid for the service, but everything needed to provide that service, they must buy and maintain at their own expense.

We've transitioned over the fed ex for the time being.
This is happening. My company is extremely proactive. We were stocking and buying janitorial supplies and gloves face masks 2 months before Covid hit in March.

Why do we think Biden cares if the economy gets hurt. 80% of Biden’s decisions hurt the economy. He is at war with the middle class.

The teamsters are a band of backwoods, mail-hating survivalists

My son is a driver for ups. Not one word of your post was accurate about buying their own trucks and fuel, etc .. at least in Virginia where he works. I guess it's possible (though unlikely) it's different for ups drivers in other parts of the country.
I also had a buddy who drove for FedEx for years. He owned his route, truck, etc .. and FedEx got their cut from his route.
I think you're confusing ups with FedEx or some other shipping company.

Well, bless his heart but he is very wrong. We never bought either package cars or feeders.

I hope they strike. Finally a stand against big money and big business. A great example of our only way out of this present day corrupt federal government, we the people, taxpayers... uniting and standing together.

Maybe he is thinking of the part time drivers UPS was using that used their own personal vehicles.

That very well could be. They started that after I retired.
