That's for full-time workers, and includes overtime. See https://www.npr.org/2023/07/07/1186338446/ups-workers-threaten-a-strike-after-contract-talks-break-down https://www.npr.org/2023/07/07/1186338446/ups-workers-threat... and mentioning 10-15 hours of overtime per week.
Fifty-five percent of the drivers are part-time, and UPS has a two-tier wage system. Part-timers got paid a lot less.

> According to the company, part-time union employees currently make an average of $20 per hour after 30 days on the job. But the union disputes these claims.
$20/hour * 2,000 hours = $40K/year

> Last year, the median UPS employee made $52,000, according to the company's securities filings.
Part of goal in the recent UPS Teamsters negotiations was to get better pay for these part-time workers. They were preparing to strike. They got the raise, plus "UPS agreed to equip new delivery vehicles with air conditioning, end forced overtime and eliminate a two-tier pay system for delivery drivers, among other concessions."
The CEO, Carol Tomé, makes $19 million/year and "UPS posted a record profit last year."
