- mistrial9 2y agothis is a casualty of markets -- in the 1960s California, UPS delivery drivers were very well paid and held to high standards. Customer service was a selling point for UPS at that time.
- sentientslug 2y agoI believe UPS drivers are the exception and are still best paid in industry.

- mistrial9 2y agoreading "Teamsters Local 853 - Drivers - Group 1 Class" for coastal HCL California -- it appears that the base pay rate is $35.95 per hour for a journeyman (practicing member). New hires have 3000 hours to perform before getting journeyman status (about 18 months) and other conditions apply. Trainees are paid less than full journeymen. The Teamsters may have negotiated additional pay package for UPS drivers of various kinds, especially regarding overtime. The fact that the parent comment cites a short national news story, and crucially fails to distinguish between many specialized kinds of drivers among UPS operations, shows superficial knowledge IMHO.
