    Yearly driver raise question

    So I’m coming up on my first year of driving in March, but I started training in the end of January so that is my building seniority date on the sheet. (I had to wait for a route to open up) Do I get my first raise on my building seniority date or my first week driving?

    At 36 am I too old?

    To start a career with UPS? I'd want to shoot for a driver position eventually and as I understand there is a long wait list. I've been reading on here that a lot of times people don't make driver until their 30s 40s or even later. So at 36, would I even have a chance? I believe I'm...

    I mean this sincerely to all my good union brothers and sisters, fulltime and partime: DON’T LOSE YOUR COOL because of the mess UPS mismanagement has put us in. As a feeder driver, I bumble around from hub to hub supporting various preloads in my district. I’ve seen a lot of anxiety, stress...

    Work slowdown

    Forced six days. The union has failed us. We still, as individuals, control the work. Walk, don’t run. Hand trucks are for pushing, not pulling. If you need a strap to keep your packages in place, you are overloaded. Hell, you shouldn’t be using a strap to begin with. Utilize crosswalks and...
