re: UPS makes great deal for drivers - high 6 figures

Ultimately UPS will contract out their routes just like FedEx. When that happens those Union jobs go bye bye…

Yes. That's exactly what happened to the Continental Airlines ground staff. They were already the highest paid in the industry and decided to unionize to try and extort even more money. They got outsourced in short order. Greed rarely ends well.

So you won’t have a problem when UPS follows the FedEx model and farms out their routes to contractors?

UPS can do as it likes. I'm just noting this response to workers, the salt of the earth that you maga types champion, fighting for and winning better wages, is very often a frick them and gleefully noting that they are gonna get fricked by robots or outsourcing. Do you have a problem with american wage workers in a free market fighting for better wages?

Obviously that’s a problem for you,

How so, based on my prior post?

If you didn’t have a problem with it, you wouldn’t have bothered to respond.

It's as if you completely ignored this prior post:

I like how you downvote posts like a little HS bitch, too.

When you factor in: 1) the potential for injuries via car accidents and lifting/dropping heavy items 2) the wear and tear on your body over many years 3) having to drive and walk around in unsafe areas The pay should be good.

You’re an idiot.

I have several degrees, can outrun, outlift, out drive and out think most UPS drivers.

This is why the car industry failed and this is why it’s gonna cost $90 to mail that snow globe or fruitcake to your grandma from 3 hours away.

I can guarantee you know absolutely jack shite about running a business.

This is how you bankrupt a business.

I’d sell that motherfricker to FedEx. Or fire everybody and start over.

What’s the median salary in the US?

According to the census median household income in 2021 was ~71k.

frick off. It’s a truck driver position. And they are home everyday

No offense truck drivers

Ships built like this have a 50/50 chance of top-siding.

You do not actually care. You just come running when you think you can make conservatives look bad. You are more tiresome than anything.

If drivers are really getting "high 6 figures" that will frick up the company's competitiveness.

So your response to someone pointing out that the next logical step for UPS is to follow the FedEx independent contractor model is to babble something about MAGA?

If you truly believed that UPS can do whatever they want in a free market then you’d have never responded with that in the first place.

Sometimes I wonder if you are as stupid as what you post?

I suppose you champion the $15/hr for working at mcdonalds? $15/hr for waitress?

As I posted above, you do not see the impact of EVERY AMERICAN when one sector raises their pay to levels far above the other parts of their sector. What do you think long haul truck drivers make? Do you want to give them a huge raise (they certainly work as hard as UPS drivers. What happens when freight rates balloon to pay these drivers that much more?

You appear to be typical in your responses.
