What UPS Doesn't Want You to Know

[no_hypocrisy]

When you think of good middle class jobs, you probably think of UPS. But the shipping giant has a secret.

While full time delivery drivers are the face of UPS, it’s the part-time workers like Cesar Mendoza who are the heart of the $100 billion shipping behemoth. In fact part-timers make up around 60% of the 340,000 UPS workers represented by the Teamsters.

These workers have been ignored for nearly 30 years, but as UPS and the union wrestle over a new contract – with a massive strike looming July 31st – part-time workers are coming out of the shadows to tell their story of what its really like to work for the world’s largest package delivery company.

1. around here, if you want to work for ups, you have to start part time.

and if you want full time, it’s a split shift.
a friend’s son worked for them after graduation from college. worked part time for about 6 mos.
he liked the job, and moved up quickly.

i had some issues w them in 2020 over a maskhole driver that let me know the place is full of assholes, tho. after i complained about the guy, his boss started f’ing w my packages. sending them to access points, a different 1 ea time, and held them for days, every day saying they were coming.
tells me they rely on computers instead of ppl.
