Yes, UPS drivers can make as much as $42 an hour. Rather than being upset about it ask yourself why other delivery companies are not paying the same.

Worked 55 hours exactly at top pay two weeks ago and the pay before taxes even melted my mind. Was more than this. UNIONIZE YOUR WORKPLACE.

UPS drivers, do not cross picket lines to make a delivery ever. We have the option to enter a non-delivery as STRIKE. #Striketober

Thanks to a union contract, I can always "engage in politics on company time" by not crossing picket lines without fear of repercussions.

Crazy to think that Walmart, Amazon, Home Depot and more could all pay more than a living wage along with benefits and a pension and still make shareholders rich. Without unions the working class have no hope.

If you sell coffee, you should be in a union. If you do oil changes, you should be in a union; if you work at a bank, you should be in a union. If you sell shoes, you should be in a union, if you work retail, you should be in a union, if you serve at a restaurant, you should be i.

@camila_bijoux "it's not viable" - ups is still profiting hand over fist."it's a low skill job" - it's not. That's more of what I'm getting at. I hear it all the time. "must be nice driving around all day.".

Today should be a lesson for all @Teamsters in the Package Division (esp UPS Teamsters) to see Amazon drivers not as competition but fellow workers to stand in solidarity with. Their win is everyone's win.

Most unions will have a strong political divide among the rank and file, but as leaders, we should be supporting candidates who actually give a shit about us. That's part of a being a leader. On top of that we need to be educating members. We've failed in that department.

We’re currently in preparation for our next contract so keep this momentum going. Make sure to continue to support your UPS Teamsters this year as we seek to get rid of two tier for drivers, better pay for our part timers and protections like AC in the package cars. We need you!.

Your data is a joke. I am a UPS driver. Show me the Amazon drivers who:.- makes over 100,000 a year.- has full medical coverage for them and their family with no co-pay.- has a pension upon retirement.- gets vacation, sick, and option days.- seniority rights, protections, etc.

The more militant we are as @teamsters going into the 2023 UPS contract, the more attractive it's going to be to Amazon workers who want to unionize. Let's show them what we can get for our members. We're willing to strike if we have to.

In my 20 years at UPS, many of my co-workers have been on the opposite side of me politically. Those same co-workers are strike ready. Let's not throw them or anyone else who supports working people under the bus. We have an opportunity to build solidarity like never before.

This article from the New Yorker on the upcoming UPS contract is a must read. While working at UPS has allowed for me to provide for my family, it is certainly not the same for our newer drivers who are in a separate tier. Our part-timers suffer even more.
