The good thing about the union, they keep UPS in check. If they werent here UPS would be pushing people so hard they would fall over dead everyday of the week. Sure the work is hard, you put up with idiots who cant or wouldnt do our jobs, but thats life.
And thats UPS life, sir. Theres always something different they try to make you do, say or preform at. If it isnt in the contract, then its not an agreeable term to anyone. The contract makes it so that UPS isnt overly firing, harassing or all of the above. The union is the solvent and UPS is the glue, in sorts. I will admit, we really do need them for this type of job.
