“The world’s largest delivery company that raked in more than $100 billion in revenue last year has made it clear to its union workforce that it has no desire to reward or respectfully compensate UPS Teamsters for their labor and sacrifice.”
that “I want UPS to get rid of 60-hour work weeks. Driving a truck for 12 hours a day for five days a week is absolutely ridiculous and unfair… Then sometimes they demand six days from us. This is a violation of our lives. They act as though we have no families.”
Another UPS worker, this one at a Northern California warehouse, told the site that “working conditions are pretty brutal, with start times being pushed as far as 5:15 am.” “We are being pushed to get these trucks loaded. We are not allowed to stop the conveyor belt if we have bulk items that are big and heavy,” the worker added. “We really are busting our behinds in loading trucks in numerical order for drivers to get deliveries. Also, a lot of time there was supposed to be double time but we were not paid double time. And when we request a sick day, those requests are not being met.
UPS spent $8.4 Billion in stock buybacks this year, yet not a penny has went to provide better wages, benefits or working conditions for their drivers.
