I thought they were misquoting or something. The article said all the guy was wearing was a vest and some street clothes. Seasonal drivers don't have to wear full uniforms?
That's the first thing I noticed too. A driver helper vest, not a UPS uniform. All seasonal drivers get full uniforms here.
Unless they rushed him through orientation, I would still think he'd have to wear brown pants and follow appearance guidelines.
Sidenote: These articles prove 2 things.
1) The media will put UPS Driver in the headlines to get clicks then retract it in the article.
2) Corporate UPS will disrespect the union UPS driver position at any given chance, but our low paid "replacements" embarrass the company more.
If they think they will have low income driver helpers in automated cars anytime soon, GOOD LUCK WITH THAT.
A real UPS driver would never give up their pension and six figure pay for a stupid iPhone. Leave it up to the seasonal help to to screw things up.
