Opening of UPS facility in Strasburg delayed due to lack of workers - The Northern Virginia Daily

UPS is working to get operations at the old LSC Communications building in Strasburg up and running, but it’s about 50 employees short.

Mike Moore, business manager at the Front Royal UPS Center at 912 John Marshall Highway, said the company needs 23 more employees to load trucks and about 30 helpers to serve as drivers.

The operation at the former LSC Communications building at 1 Shenandoah Valley Drive in Strasburg was supposed to open Sunday, Moore said, but couldn't because there wasn't enough staff.

Yet they announce that they are going to hire 100,000 people for peak.

.....uh what?

Wow. That’s out in the middle of nowhere. They must be trying to lowball them on pay. Seems like people would want to work there rather than have to make a long commute.

Loaders will start work around 3:30 or 4:30 a.m. and work until about 9:30 a.m. loading trucks, Moore said, while helpers will meet drivers on their routes and work about five to eight hours a day depending on the work volume. Delivery drivers’ schedules typically run from about 10 a.m. to 6 p.m....................... yeah 6pm. sure

Only the most elite RPCD are also helpers. Are you elite?

5 billion in stock buybacks could have paid a lot of wages and opened a lot of capacity

this is like the 4th building i've seen fail to start up for peak, that's a **cking disaster
