[QUOTE="cheryl, post: 4276436, member: 1"] [URL='https://www.detroitnews.com/story/business/2019/11/25/ups-asks-temp-workers-use-cars-holiday-deliveries/40704203/'][B]UPS asks temp workers to use their own cars for holiday deliveries - The Detroit News[/B][/URL] United Parcel Service Inc. is expanding its hires of drivers using their own vehicles to help with the avalanche of holiday deliveries spawned by online shopping, and that’s rattling veteran drivers of the iconic brown van from New York to Kentucky. Unlike competitors FedEx Corp. and Amazon.com Inc., UPS has a unionized workforce, and local Teamsters leaders aren’t happy with a trend they see as reducing opportunities for their members and hurting the UPS brand. “They’re lowering their own standards so much,” said Vincent Perrone, president of Local 804 in New York City and Long Island, where the personal-vehicle drivers will be used for the first time this year. The local has filed a labor grievance with UPS to challenge the jobs. [/QUOTE]
