The 767, which debuted in 1982 as Boeing’s first twin-engined wide-body, has enjoyed resurgence as a freighter as passenger version loses popularity
United Parcel Service Inc. purchased its first used Boeing Co. 767s, grabbing older models that are in high demand as package shipments increase globally and production slots for new versions of the plane are sold out.
Booming online retail sales are good news for the U.S. Postal Service, but its carriers are incurring a cost: more dog bites.
United Parcel Service said its 66,000 deliverers suffered about 900 dog bites last year, a percentage that has remained fairly stable. Spokesman Dan McMackin, a former UPS driver who used to carry dog biscuits to woo surly pets, said he found pit bulls and smaller dog breeds to be more nettlesome than “hunting dogs” — such as Labrador retrievers and beagles — who “don’t have much to prove.”
United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit.
Jerry Lee Faidley Plaintiff – Appellant v. United Parcel Service of America, Inc. Defendant – Appellee
No. 16-1073
Decided: April 04, 2017
Before KELLY and MURPHY, Circuit Judges, and MONTGOMERY,1 District Judge.
Plaintiff Jerry Faidley worked as a delivery driver for defendant United Parcel Service of America (UPS). His doctor restricted his work activity after he hurt his back, and UPS did not offer him another full time position that he was able to perform. He sued for disability discrimination and retaliation. The district court granted summary judgment to UPS on all claims. Faidley appeals, and we affirm in part, reverse in part, and remand.
A federal appeals court on Tuesday revived a former United Parcel Service of America Inc driver’s disability discrimination lawsuit accusing the shipping giant of failing to accommodate his back and hip injuries.
n a 2-1 ruling, a panel of the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals reversed a ruling by a federal judge in Iowa that had thrown out Jerry Faidley’s bias claim, saying his fitness for a less strenuous job should have been decided by a jury.
United Parcel Service Inc. will lease roughly 1 million square feet at the Arlington Commerce Center, which is expected to create 1,400 full-time jobs.
The Arlington City Council unanimously decided to grant United Parcel Service Inc. tax incentives for its new regional hub, scheduled to open in 2019. The company will lease one of the city’s largest industrial spaces, now under construction—roughly 1 million square feet at the Arlington Commerce Center—and expand it by 200,000 square feet.
