Not in my area. We have a huge distribution center and some smaller buildings. They are basically 100% branded trucks with a much different caliber of workers than the idiots they had using white vans 2 years ago. If this new amazon isn’t in your city yet, it’s coming soon
Do you think a ups employee will be making 30+ an hour in 4 years?
Yeah, but at least we make a decent living doing it
Why haven't you applied for Amazon?
Maybe some of us are.
For how long? We are loosing ground and Amazon is gaining ground. How long before we have permanent pvds making less than 22.4s? How much you wanna bet the 25% of 22.4 to regular driver ratio goes up next contract?
Ya, because somebody off the street is going start at ups today and make 40hr in 4 years. How deluded are you?
Ok boomer. Iv delivers to 2 of the smaller local distribution places in my city. They treat safety at a MUCH higher importance than we do. The employees in these branded trucks are just as professional as we are, and now they dont have the same turn over issues they were having when laser ship and all those other sketchy contractors were delivering stuff. Times are changing. I bet you were one of the guys who were saying amazon could never set up their own delivery network. 4/5 years later here we are.
Where did I say I wanted the union to force ups to bleed money?
I'm not a lazy snowflake. Even when I worked minimum wage jobs I was always grateful for the opportunity.
How do you know these amazon employees don’t have work ethic. Stop generalizing stuff. Ups employee are just as much of dirtbags in 2020 as amazon employees are.
A few more years, at least, lol
The ratio might go up, but where will they get the bodies? I'm guessing when Amazon full-sends their delivery network, they will be offering mid to upper $20's/hr starting, decent healthcare, and a 401k match. Along with much more pussified work environment.
I agree with your second portion of your statement 100%. Tbh it sounds like if your staring off in 4/5 years..... maybe just maybe ups isn’t the best option. That’s all I’m saying.
You watch how they drive?
Oh blah blah blah. Our pension is failing in most areas. Their benefits are actually very good and don’t take 1 year. They have to pay for them yes, but not much.
if you can’t see what’s going on and how much ground the Union is loosing your blind. UPS is starting 22.4 drivers at 20hr. Amazon from what iv been told by people who work there are paying their drivers around 17-20hr We’re not leading the industry onany more.
Once again, idk where you live but in my city the amazon branded vans are a different caliber of delivery style. I haven’t seen any new vans that they’ve had over the past 1-2 or two damaged, I see the same amazon delivery guy in my area. This amazon guy actually goes to high rise apt buildings front office to get the access key to deliver to the building. Every time I have off the UPS cover guy just sheets up the whole building as n1 or not ready because he’s too lazy to deliver it. You must live in some small town that hasn’t been infiltrated with all these new amazon people.
