UPS is firing 250 Queens drivers for walking off the job during a 90-minute protest in February.
The company dismissed 20 of the workers after their shifts Monday and issued notices of termination to another 230 employees, notifying them that they will be fired once the company has trained their replacements, UPS spokesman Steve Gaut told Business Insider.
The workers were protesting the dismissal of long-time employee and union activist Jairo Reyes, who was fired over an hours dispute, according to Gaut. The New York Daily News first reported on the firings.
The local branch of the Teamsters union that represents the dismissed workers has described the firings as "a heartless attack on drivers and their families."

Thank goodness the Jung family uses Fed Ex! I just ordered a bunch of strawberry plants and IIRC a pear tree.
Thanks for the feedback about UPS.
Sounds pretty much like most places.
Entry level jobs aren’t as pleasant and rewarding as more senior positions but once you learn the ropes and work your way up the ladder life gets better.
