I understand being misinformed, but this is totally made up.

UPS does hire seasonal drivers for Christmas and they use personal vehicles or rentals, but seasonal drivers are not full time UPS employees.

I’ve seen some wrong shite posted on this board before with extreme irrational confidence but holy moly this takes the cake

That’s how it goes with most of the stuff he lost. He’s either a troll or very stupid. It’s hard to tell

Surely you can’t be serious. And if you are, you’re a freaking moron.

Wow, just freaking wow! BRB, gotta make sure the windows are closed on the P800 in my driveway.

What are they whining that they need from UPS?

Full- and part-time
@UPS
#Teamsters are working in lockstep for a new 5-year agreement that guarantees higher wages for all workers, more full-time jobs, an end to forced overtime & harassment from management, elimination of a 2-tier wage system, and protection from heat.



That's not whining but seems to be fair. The whole point of negotiating a contract is to make it better than the last. 22.4 drivers are doing the same job as their 22.3 counterparts and are getting paid far less.
