Some tech workers questioned whether UPS drivers deserved high pay — others jumped in to note the importance of the jobs and harsh working conditions.

Also, the media who is obviously not on the unions side, is not mentioning that the pay increases are based on the end of the contract.
Drivers are not going to make 170k if the contract passes the vote. They will be making 170k in 10 years. Their base pay will increase 5% the first year, and then every year they will get a 75 cent raise.
Does anybody want to guess what inflation will drive tech engineers salaries to in 10 years?
If inflation continues as it has, UPS drivers will be locked into wage increases that don’t beat inflation.
UPS is also experiencing record setting turnover rates for employees right now. They are giving write ups to employees en mass. Literally lines of workers waiting for their turn to receive their write up each morning.
The contract being called a massive win by the media, UPS, and the head of the Teamster’s is actually bullshit. Very few drivers support it, and it will probably not pass the vote.
