On an call early in the negotiations, the Union Leader said that the pathway to the Driver's Seat is very difficult. "You work the Loading Dock for $21 an hour, on odd shifts like 4am to 8am or 5pm to 9pm. As many as 80% of these initial hires don't make it through the 90-day Probation Period."
Doesn't matter much -- The UPS Driver Job will be obsolete by the end of this Contract. Self-Driving trucks will pull up to your house based on GPS. A drone will drop your package on the front porch and take a photo to prove delivery.
The drone will have to catch up to the truck as it hauls ass to tne next address on the schedule.
That is hilarious. It is a 5 year contract not a 50 year contract. Even if the tech is ready it would take a decade to implement it nationwide for a company the size of UPS.
