Prepare snail mail: America faces biggest strike EVER as 350,000 UPS workers demand better conditions – even though its drivers already earn 95k a year

by

UPS’ contract is set to expire on July 31, 2023, and 350,000 of its 534,000 employees are expected to go on strike to demand better conditions

They are demanding air conditioning in the back of trucks, better pay packages, and benefits

UPS drivers already make around $95,000 yearly on average and receive an additional $50,000 in benefits

However, the median salary for the company is around $44,000, which is still significantly higher than its competitors, Amazon and FedEx

UPS handles 21.5million packages a day and – the only carrier with the capacity to do so – and controls about six percent of the nation’s GDP

If the workers go on strike, it will be the first time the company has since 1997
