UPS workers approve 5-year contract, capping contentious negotiations that threatened deliveries
apnews.com
The union representing 340,000 UPS workers says its members voted to approve the tentative contract agreement reached last month.

Under the tentative agreement, full- and part-time union workers will get $2.75 more per hour in 2023, and $7.50 more in total by the end of the five-year contract. Starting hourly pay for part-time employees also got bumped up to $21, but some workers said that fell short of their expectations.

UPS says that by the end of the new contract, the average UPS full-time driver will make about $170,000 annually in pay and benefits. It’s not clear how much of that figure benefits account for.

    Thank you for the context!

    It’s still a little hard to tell whether this is a living wage or an increase that matches cost of living increases, but I guess if the membership is happy with it then so are those of us who support them.
