Wonder what they got.

Before the strike:
Part time driver was $20 and full benefits;
Full time driver was $100,000 and full benefits.

A tentative agreement between UPS and its unionized workforce was hailed as “historic” this week, with Teamsters leadership boasting that they “changed the game.”

President Biden congratulated contract negotiators and shipping customers everywhere, breathing a sigh of relief that a massive strike would likely be averted. The agreement boosts starting pay for part-timers to $21 an hour, raises the top rate for-time drivers to $49, eliminates a hated “two-tier” wage system that paid some drivers less than others for identical work and includes heat protections and air conditioning for new trucks.

But the deal must still be ratified by UPS’ 340,000 unionized workers, most of whom are part-time, and some of whom say it wouldn’t fix decades of falling pay in a physically exhausting job. Those workers are calling for a “no” vote on the agreement, raising the possibility that ratification will fail.
