The drivers are just the “face” of the company. The public needs to know the truth!! Not a single union worker got hazard pay, while mngmt reaped the rewards of it!!
Part timers don’t require health in$urance. Walmart been doing that for years. I heard many Walmart employees only get 37, 38 hours a week for the entire time of their employment. I think uniforms fall under that too. Tons more I’ve forgotten.
Pay the worker, not the stock holders and the traders in Wall Street. UPS rather enrich management and the stock market, Instead of compensating their workers.
Right, they want their employees to be loyal for a long time but yet want the stock market to thrive on short-term gains. Everyone needs to be in it for the long term.
The stockholders is everyone with 401ks, hedge fund investments, retirement savings etc. The stockholders are every day people as well as a huge number of UPS employees. Can they afford to do more for their employees? Certainly but to what extent I don't know as I don't do the finances for the corporation but it's never so simple as people want to make it out to be.
If you were the owner of the company would you give all your profits to the workers. I think not as your the one who takes all the risks. Many just average joes own the stock thur retirement plan included is the teamsters.
@@johnathanwhitewolf5050it's simple. First labor gets paid then if there is a profit shareholders get paid. What happened to Sears' shareholders? They lost it all. The workers just got another job. Cut executive pay, not labor or go bankrupt. No one is too big to fail.

There's no point to join unless you're full time. This union didn't say a peep when we were being put in trucks 2 and 3 at a time with no 6ft rule or enforceable mask rule u less being audited. They support politicians that tank the economy push the green agenda then cry out for air conditioners that democrats wanted to make illegal 😂 unions filled with too many activist not enough workers.
We stand with the drivers & preloaders! Our area they work their behinds off for us inside and out to get us our stuff. We know a few part-time preloaders through everyday life and they have stated that they are not making $35 or $20 like ups is acknowledging on the media, they are still making around $16 an hour. Cost of living is higher they do understand? Very greedy company it seems. Wish the best for the employees. To know the employees didn’t get a hazard pay during covid, but their management got many rewards during it is downright disgusting & disrespectful to it’s hard working employees.
Part-timers should be given the right to work fulltime and have better pay, just having health insurance isn't enough anymore as a part-timer. It would also be good for the union to have an anti- automation clause in the contract as this warehouse work will be automated in the future with robots, software and AI.
It depends on where you are in the country for full-time opportunities. In my area, there have been a lot of postings for full-time. Most part timers with any time with the company pass them up because they are 22.4. You have to be 22.4 (lower payed full time driver/inside that UPS has not implemented correctly in accordance with our current CBA) before becoming a regular package driver. That means you're signing up for less pay and forced overtime. Let's be clear. All jobs at UPS are physically and mentally demanding. 30 stops an hour delivering in adverse conditions. The company is tracking every second on the gps enable diad board and deciding if the driver is being used to the maximum or needs 30 more stops the next day.
@@30smsuperstrat all good points my friend! I remember working back there in the day "1997" as a part timer and a lot of great people never getting the chance to become full-time. It was the most grueling job I've ever had and anybody that works for UPS should be paid for their time, energy and health. ✌️
It’s perfect timing. Instead of making 16 per hour you will make 20 most likely. Hang in there put your time in if you are in it for the long run it pays off!
Look up UPS dividend payment schedule too, shareholders have never not gotten paid. They haven't suspended quarterly dividend payments in decades. That means the company is super stable long term and always has enough cash to pay investors by shafting employees.
Everything that is going on with UPS is happening to the USPS, except management breaks our contract every day and blames the craft employees for it. Memos come down, telling lower management to squeeze us harder, push us faster, don't bother with heat illness prevention training or tests to make sure we understand it. Now we're about to be hit with Amazon's July Xmas-level volume for Prime Day _and_ UPS's undelivered parcels. If we get pushed enough, I'm afraid that there will be another wildcat strike. We can only take so much. If Teamsters can get what they need from UPS, maybe we'll be able to get our contract settled without that drastic step. USPS management doesn't seem to care, though, since every day we go through mandating and apathetic responses from management about breaking the contract and the law. Our stewards are all carrying, so where's our representation?
I agree as an Usps worker we get slammed with Amazon and ups parcels not to mention endless trays of mail. Contract is not a contract once it’s broke and this happens quite often with usps
What sucks is that all of us the working class are definitely not getting paid enough and definitely not a living wage so I'm with teamsters trying to help get UPS workers getting wage increase.
It's about time the workers realize they outnumber the greedy executives. If workers in the right industries which are being exploited stood up for themselves a lot of the crap these companies pull wouldn't fly.
UPS gross profit for the twelve months ending March 31, 2023 was $73.688B, a 1.57% increase year-over-year. UPS annual gross profit for 2022 was $74.152B, a 3.08% increase from 2021. UPS annual gross profit for 2021 was $71.939B, a 12.32% increase from 2020.
atleast $25 to start, aiming for $30 to start. i didn't hear anything on top wage as it takes 3-4 years to get to it depending where you are. I'm in Canada so we have a separate contract. most cant wait 3-4 years making $15/hour.

It’s suck because the government is more for corporations so instead of having these corporations pay us a living wage they rather have tax payers pay for the food assistance and housing assistance we need to live in this economy. When gas and food and everything els is going us daily it makes no sense feed your employees UPS. And don’t ever forget these benefits UPS Talks about they come from the UNION not from UPS. .
I’m sure that UPS has a bad reputation for employing part time workers who get about four hours of work per day with limited fringe benefits. I bet that UPS isn’t living up to its promise to pay the college tuition for the part time employees who want to go to college.
Drivers can go 14 hours with an hour break but no one is gonna be able to load, pick, sort, do irregs or anything else like that for 10 hours. Pay the part timers they are the backbone
The only reason our drivers have insurance and vision and dental is because our teamsters Union agreed they will pay our benefits what more does Ups want from the teamsters to pay our wages
I am SO thankful that Unions are finally STANDING UP and striking. In many areas - industries etc . . It's the LAST power that the bottom 99% of people have to even survive.
If the workers arent being paid failry and the company is raking it in. Why would anyone care if UPS goes under? A new competitor will take its market share and the employees can work for them. My union stands in solidarity with the teamsters working for UPS.
This is the case of human greed. UPS drivers make bank compared to others doing about the same work at other companies. The drivers are unionized so they decide to flex their union power in order to demand even more pay than their currently already high pay. I hope they strike and UPS decide to hire replacement drivers from Amazon. I am one of those Amazon drivers and I would be more than happy to take $30/hr without any benefits AND using my own car. Be happy with what you have or you might just regret losing it after you've lost it.
UPS WAS SUPPOSE TO PICK UP MY AMAZON RETURN PRODUCT YESTERDAY, BUT DID NOT! THERE WAS (NO) TAG HUNG ON MY DOOR OR ANYWHERE ON MY PORCH AS PER UPS INSTRUCTIONS. THIS WAS A SECOND ATTEMPT!
Ups says Part-time employees at UPS earn an average of $20 per hour after 30 days. I work for ups in fact I'm about to leave for work now after two years I make 16.62 but ups says 20 on their website 🤷🏿♂️
Yes. Like who and where are that paying $20 an hour. I’ve been there for almost 3 years and I only make $15.50 and why can’t they have full time shifts. I know people that are vying for the few double positions that they have.
What a bias interview dude. Why are you arguing the stand point from UPS's side my man? "Demands" or Requests depending on how you look at it? What a joke.
Behind closed doors the union and ups both want part time employees, it’s beneficial for both. Ups can keep the cost of doing business down and union gets more union dues.
“There's a storm coming, Mr. Wayne. You and your friends better batten down the hatches, because when it hits, you're all gonna wonder how you ever thought you could live so large and leave so little for the rest of us.”
I hope the union representatives are better than when I made the mistake of working for UPS, cause my reps were either too lazy to do their damn job or gave the impression they were double dipping working with the company.
Good for them. UPS has made $100 billion in profits off the backs of their workers. They SHOULD pay them more because they can afford to and they wouldn't have made that money without them.
Keep the company permanently shut down. Freeze the company assets. If you can't eat , they can't eat. Keep them in their office . Disable the vehicle the ceo drives. You matter.
There's no such thing as a "Living" wage for a UPS part timer. An average part time Employee makes an average of 19 hours a week. They need to be full time. And the company has money. They give it to part time supervisors who also demanded an m.r.a., and given cash production bonuses. Who's average age is 20 years old, and couldnt give two spits about spreading covid 19 during the pandemic.
@@ЯСмерть-ф5п That would just mean being fired....The sad thing is that there is a prison guard position open out in cottonwood. It pays well over $20 an hour. I'd have to commute. But the compensation will more than pay for the fuel. I wonder if they have a union.

@@ЯСмерть-ф5п that's really good to hear! I'm really rooting for you guys!
It depends on where you are in the country for full-time opportunities. In my area, there have been a lot of postings for full-time. Most part timers with any time with the company pass them up because they are 22.4. You have to be 22.4 (lower payed full time driver/inside that UPS has not implemented correctly in accordance with our current CBA) before becoming a regular package driver. That means you're signing up for less pay and forced overtime. Let's be clear. All jobs at UPS are physically and mentally demanding. 30 stops an hour delivering in adverse conditions. The company is tracking every second on the gps enable diad board and deciding if the driver is being used to the maximum or needs 30 more stops the next day.
@@30smsuperstrat all good points my friend! I remember working back there in the day "1997" as a part timer and a lot of great people never getting the chance to become full-time. It was the most grueling job I've ever had and anybody that works for UPS should be paid for their time, energy and health. ✌️
Shame on UPS and their greediness. UPS members need better pay!!
Just pay the workers already.
Im supposed to start at UPS next Monday i didn’t know about this and i don’t know if this is good or bad timing😅
It’s perfect timing. Instead of making 16 per hour you will make 20 most likely. Hang in there put your time in if you are in it for the long run it pays off!

They are fainting on the job because the heat
100 billion revenue good GOD !!
Look up UPS dividend payment schedule too, shareholders have never not gotten paid. They haven't suspended quarterly dividend payments in decades. That means the company is super stable long term and always has enough cash to pay investors by shafting employees.
It was $26 billion in 96 when i started.
Everything that is going on with UPS is happening to the USPS, except management breaks our contract every day and blames the craft employees for it. Memos come down, telling lower management to squeeze us harder, push us faster, don't bother with heat illness prevention training or tests to make sure we understand it. Now we're about to be hit with Amazon's July Xmas-level volume for Prime Day _and_ UPS's undelivered parcels. If we get pushed enough, I'm afraid that there will be another wildcat strike. We can only take so much.
If Teamsters can get what they need from UPS, maybe we'll be able to get our contract settled without that drastic step. USPS management doesn't seem to care, though, since every day we go through mandating and apathetic responses from management about breaking the contract and the law. Our stewards are all carrying, so where's our representation?
The guy Trump hired and Biden kept?
I agree as an Usps worker we get slammed with Amazon and ups parcels not to mention endless trays of mail. Contract is not a contract once it’s broke and this happens quite often with usps
Great coverage CBS, thanks for the coverage!
Many of the ups higher ups have the graciousness of DeSantis.
What sucks is that all of us the working class are definitely not getting paid enough and definitely not a living wage so I'm with teamsters trying to help get UPS workers getting wage increase.
If min wage kept up with cost of living and inflation it would be over $30/hour now.
Good so glad you are staying strong 💪
No pain no gain.
It's about time the workers realize they outnumber the greedy executives. If workers in the right industries which are being exploited stood up for themselves a lot of the crap these companies pull wouldn't fly.
Solidarity with the UPS workers!
UPS gross profit for the twelve months ending March 31, 2023 was $73.688B, a 1.57% increase year-over-year. UPS annual gross profit for 2022 was $74.152B, a 3.08% increase from 2021. UPS annual gross profit for 2021 was $71.939B, a 12.32% increase from 2020.
Gooooo teamster 👍
He has yet to say how much he wants the pt workers to make.
atleast $25 to start, aiming for $30 to start. i didn't hear anything on top wage as it takes 3-4 years to get to it depending where you are. I'm in Canada so we have a separate contract. most cant wait 3-4 years making $15/hour.
Love you Sean keep fighting for us! Teamster local 769
I was a driver. ‘This’ line of work..? Man it is tough and the average person cannot do it at all, it’s insane..
They deserve loads of money..
We should make part timmers full time workers not over time but full time benefits
I love ups to.....ugh!!!!
30 dollars an hour for all hub employees(starting)

15.50 what a joke
SHOOT HIGHER IN LIFE....
@@GothamsFinest i don't give a dam about the investors they're not the ones doing the work and literally dying on the job. I myself have been bitten on the face by a dog, held up at gunpoint during a armed robbery, almost had my legs broken by a guy running a red light, the list goes on.
I was raised in a union. Fight for your rights. Never cross a picket line. I am sick of seeing workers treated like slaves.
💪🏾✊🏾 let’s get this Contract 💯
This seems simple to me, full time drivers are overpaid, whereas part timers and loaders are underpaid.
It’s suck because the government is more for corporations so instead of having these corporations pay us a living wage they rather have tax payers pay for the food assistance and housing assistance we need to live in this economy. When gas and food and everything els is going us daily it makes no sense feed your employees UPS. And don’t ever forget these benefits UPS Talks about they come from the UNION not from UPS. .
thank god my daughter has paid off her house and no kids to support
I’m sure that UPS has a bad reputation for employing part time workers who get about four hours of work per day with limited fringe benefits.
I bet that UPS isn’t living up to its promise to pay the college tuition for the part time employees who want to go to college.
Let's get this $$$.
Drivers can go 14 hours with an hour break but no one is gonna be able to load, pick, sort, do irregs or anything else like that for 10 hours. Pay the part timers they are the backbone
Get what you deserve! Union STRONG!
Typical Ups, LIE LIE LIE!!!!!!
Somebody’s lying.
STRIKE STRIKE STRIKE STRIKE STRIKE
The only reason our drivers have insurance and vision and dental is because our teamsters Union agreed they will pay our benefits what more does Ups want from the teamsters to pay our wages
I support u all local 427 district 33 Philadelphia
I am SO thankful that Unions are finally STANDING UP and striking.
In many areas - industries etc . .
It's the LAST power that the bottom 99% of people have to even survive.
UPS strikers need to strike!!
Fire them all! They should appreciate they have a job.
Replace part timers with automation and pay the full timers
If the workers arent being paid failry and the company is raking it in. Why would anyone care if UPS goes under? A new competitor will take its market share and the employees can work for them. My union stands in solidarity with the teamsters working for UPS.
This is the case of human greed. UPS drivers make bank compared to others doing about the same work at other companies. The drivers are unionized so they decide to flex their union power in order to demand even more pay than their currently already high pay. I hope they strike and UPS decide to hire replacement drivers from Amazon. I am one of those Amazon drivers and I would be more than happy to take $30/hr without any benefits AND using my own car.
Be happy with what you have or you might just regret losing it after you've lost it.
100 Billion not million mr news anchor
UPS WAS SUPPOSE TO PICK UP MY AMAZON RETURN PRODUCT YESTERDAY, BUT DID NOT! THERE WAS (NO) TAG HUNG ON MY DOOR OR ANYWHERE ON MY PORCH AS PER UPS INSTRUCTIONS. THIS WAS A SECOND ATTEMPT!
$15.50 hr is minimal wage in California..they nake min wage😮😮😮
Yes they do. And also they get 3 hours 4 at most per day.
Billion.....not million
$8.6 Billion in stock buybacks and dividends and they say they have no money left to pay it's employees lol. Corporate greed!
Our Chapter broke the news to us last week that UPS will be closing shops and increasing PT help with reduced hours-Local 171

Ups says Part-time employees at UPS earn an average of $20 per hour after 30 days. I work for ups in fact I'm about to leave for work now after two years I make 16.62 but ups says 20 on their website 🤷🏿♂️
Yes. Like who and where are that paying $20 an hour. I’ve been there for almost 3 years and I only make $15.50 and why can’t they have full time shifts. I know people that are vying for the few double positions that they have.
What a bias interview dude. Why are you arguing the stand point from UPS's side my man? "Demands" or Requests depending on how you look at it? What a joke.
Behind closed doors the union and ups both want part time employees, it’s beneficial for both. Ups can keep the cost of doing business down and union gets more union dues.
Make ai the ceo and pay workers more lol
“There's a storm coming, Mr. Wayne. You and your friends better batten down the hatches, because when it hits, you're all gonna wonder how you ever thought you could live so large and leave so little for the rest of us.”
Won't last long same thing will happen that happened with Union Pacific last year the government will step in
I hope the union representatives are better than when I made the mistake of working for UPS, cause my reps were either too lazy to do their damn job or gave the impression they were double dipping working with the company.
Can people tell me watnis going on those world and country in America
UPS drivers are vicious with those trucks.
Good for them. UPS has made $100 billion in profits off the backs of their workers. They SHOULD pay them more because they can afford to and they wouldn't have made that money without them.
They did not make $100 billion in profits. They hit $100 billion in revenue in 2022 and 11.5 billion in profit….that’s a huge difference.
@@matthtang Doesn't matter. They STILL got enough money to properly compensate their employees.
This guy is the least biased MSM propagandist against labor. Sad what a low bar that is.
No one cares pay the people this is 99% of these companies in America 😊
Keep the company permanently shut down. Freeze the company assets. If you can't eat , they can't eat. Keep them in their office . Disable the vehicle the ceo drives. You matter.
There's no such thing as a "Living" wage for a UPS part timer. An average part time Employee makes an average of 19 hours a week. They need to be full time.
And the company has money. They give it to part time supervisors who also demanded an m.r.a., and given cash production bonuses. Who's average age is 20 years old, and couldnt give two spits about spreading covid 19 during the pandemic.
I’m a driver for an auto parts store and I make $14 an hour. It’s not bad. I have 2 kids so sometimes those checks have to stretch.
Unionize
@@ЯСмерть-ф5п That would just mean being fired....The sad thing is that there is a prison guard position open out in cottonwood. It pays well over $20 an hour. I'd have to commute. But the compensation will more than pay for the fuel. I wonder if they have a union.
