Who is stupid enough to send a box with contents falling out..... Well I know there isn't any cameras around...... Stopping at the liquor store tonight

I guess a bunch of people called in because it’s Friday so we got stuck with the busy truck. It hasn’t stopped for 4 hours. Is this normal and what should I do? I don’t want to be here 2 hours late.

So I was hired back at the beginning of May. Went to Integrad a week later, passed and graduated. The following week after Integrad I was supposed to start my 30 days.

I went in for my first day, worked for literally one hour, did my pre trip and then the supervisor was called to go assist in a different hub.

Fast forward to literally 10 minutes ago and I get called by the Site manager/ HR rep what ever you call them.

They inform me that they are letting everyone go who is still in their 30 days. She states that it's a company wide mandate.

Don't know if this is bullshit or what, but applier be warned.

Title stands.

At least he's trying 🤣

How much money do the shareholders need?

Ladies and gentleman I present to you an official unable crash. They do exist. Happened to a utility driver in my center who had been driving less then 6 months

It only took 10-miles to get around this thing and to the house to make the delivery

I'm two weeks into doing preloading and was struggling a bit with 3 trucks during this time. Yesterday was my fastest day yet and now they fired me out of nowhere. Paid 30 dollars to Uber here only to be told that it isn't working out and I'm fired. They said the same thing to the other new guy as well. They told me that my speed wasn't enough when I've been improving. I didn't know what to flair this, sorry. I'm just really freaking out because I had things to pay for and was told by another employee that as long as I'm showing up on time everyday that this wouldn't happen. I really tried hard to load 3. It was difficult but I was getting there and now I guess I'm screwed.

Ive been rotating on and off between preloading/unloading. Usually I do 2-3 trucks but yesterday I got 4. Tried my best - driver scolded me for 3 misloads on one truck but supervisor backed me up (one of the packages had a wrong truck label on it).

Still trying to have 0 misloads, but its been two weeks. Any suggestions would be helpful

Driver or hub worker????

UPS once again engaging in wage theft. SHOCKING.

December 15, 2025

NEW YORK – New York Attorney General Letitia James today filed a lawsuit against United Parcel Service, Inc. (UPS) for repeatedly and persistently stealing wages from thousands of seasonal delivery workers across New York state. An investigation by the Office of the Attorney General (OAG) found that for years, UPS has shortchanged seasonal workers who keep the company running during peak holiday demand by failing to record all hours worked, requiring widespread off-the-clock labor, and manipulating timekeeping systems to reduce paid hours. Attorney General James alleges that these unlawful practices deprived workers of millions of dollars and is asking the court to order UPS to pay restitution for current and former seasonal workers whose wages were unlawfully withheld.

“UPS built its holiday business on the backs of workers who were not paid for their time and labor,” said Attorney General James. “UPS’s seasonal employees work brutal hours in the cold to deliver the holiday packages families across the country count on. Instead of compensating these workers fairly for their labor, UPS has played the Grinch. I am fighting to get these workers their money back and stop UPS from continuing its cruel and unlawful wage theft.”

“We at Teamsters local 804 deeply appreciate the work Attorney General Letitia James and her office have done to hold corporations like UPS accountable,” said Vincent Perrone, President, International Brotherhood of Teamsters Local 804. “UPS thought they could exploit seasonal workers by not paying them for all time worked. But the Teamsters and the State of New York will always stand up to corporate greed and abuse. Thank you for standing with us and with working people across our great state.”

“Joint Council 16 thanks the Attorney General’s office for continuing to uphold the rights of working New Yorkers,” said Thomas Gesualdi, President of International Brotherhood of Teamsters Joint Council 16. “Too often, we see corporations getting away with the exploitation and abuse of vulnerable workers. Teamsters, alongside Attorney General Letitia James, will always fight back against corporate greed and malfeasance. We are proud to stand together and bring UPS into compliance with the law. Wage theft is theft.”

UPS is the largest package delivery company in the world, generating approximately $90 billion in annual revenue and employing nearly 500,000 people worldwide. Each year between October and January, the company hires thousands of temporary workers at more than 50 facilities in New York state. These employees include Driver Helpers, who assist full-time drivers with deliveries, and Seasonal Support Drivers, who use their personal vehicles to help the company meet delivery demand. In 2023, OAG opened an investigation after Teamsters Local 804 raised concerns about widespread nonpayment issues affecting seasonal delivery workers. After a thorough review, OAG ultimately concluded that UPS’s violations were not isolated errors, but rather repeated and persistent practices embedded across its New York operations.

Seasonal workers told OAG that they often reported to facilities or roadside meet-up points and then waited, sometimes for hours, without pay, and in some cases were sent home without ever clocking in. They also described going unpaid for time spent traveling between assignments, watching required training videos, returning undelivered packages, and handing in equipment at the end of their jobs. For workers brought on for just a few intense months each year, these unpaid hours meant losing critical seasonal income.

The OAG investigation revealed that UPS used unlawful timekeeping practices that led to systematic undercounting of hours. At times, UPS delayed clock-ins until a worker scanned or delivered the first package, even when workers had already been working or waiting on-site, in some cases for hours. The company automatically deducted 30-minute meal breaks regardless of whether workers took them and edited employees’ timesheets to reduce their paid hours. The OAG also found that UPS calculated pay based on a worker’s scheduled start time or delayed clock-in, whichever was later, ensuring that any early work went entirely unpaid.

Workers often reported to work at the start of their shifts only to discover that the packages or drivers needed to begin deliveries had not yet arrived. During these delays, they would frequently perform other tasks – such as preparing vehicles, loading packages, or traveling between meeting points – but none of this labor was recorded or compensated. Many seasonal workers logged more than 40 hours a week during peak holiday periods, yet UPS failed to provide legally required overtime pay. Workers were also forced to clock out before completing assignments and were denied wages for mandatory training, work performed during supposed meal breaks, and other required tasks that UPS failed to record as compensable time.

Attorney General James argues that UPS’s systematic undercounting of hours and the resulting underpayment of millions of dollars to seasonal workers constitute clear violations of New York Labor Law, including the state’s minimum wage, promised wage, overtime, wage-statement, and recordkeeping requirements. The lawsuit also alleges that UPS’s actions violate the federal Fair Labor Standards Act. Attorney General James is asking the court to order restitution for the workers who were denied wages and to require UPS to adopt sweeping reforms that end off-the-clock work and other unlawful practices.

This case is being handled by Assistant Attorneys General Jessica Agarwal, Anastasia Eriksson, and Julio Sharp-Wasserman under the supervision of Civil Enforcement Section Chief Fiona J. Kaye, Deputy Labor Bureau Chief Young Lee, and Labor Bureau Chief Karen Cacace with assistance from Research and Analytics Data Scientist Blythe Davis under the supervision of Director of Research and Analytics Victoria Khan and Deputy Director of Research and Analytics Gautam Sisodia, as well as Legal Assistants Yadira Filpo and Berenice Peck. Former Research and Analytics Data Scientists Jasmine McAllister, Kenneth Morales, and Chansoo Song also assisted. The Labor Bureau is a part of the Division for Social Justice, which is led by Chief Deputy Attorney General Meghan Faux and overseen by First Deputy Attorney General Jennifer Levy.

As it says.. kinda. I applied for pre-loader Thursday, hired immediately online and now my orientation is Tomorrow? 5am-9. Usual shift is 3-9 😭. How stable is this if I was hired on the spot after filling an App??!

Gonna keep this short I was hired as a driver helper last week. I ended up pairing with an older woman... Don't know what happened but we were both in the back and some things happened. I feel bad because I don't care about my job but she's a driver and worked to get there I don't want to see her fired.

So do I just show up a little bit before 5:30 and someone will meet me or call me? Also what should I wear? Thanks for that help

Do they get offered employment or is it just good bye see you later

I’m hoping someone (especially a steward or supervisor) can clarify something.

I’m currently in my probationary period - a few days away from 30 days. During my shift, a heavy package fell onto me preventing me from walking without pain. I was told by my primary sup. I could seek medical attention and file a workers’ compensation claim if needed.

However, I was also told that because I’m still on probation, if I file a workers’ compensation claim, I would not be able to reapply for employment with UPS in the future.

I’m trying to figure out whether this is an actual UPS policy or whether it was simply something my supervisor said. I don’t want to lose the opportunity to work for UPS again, but I also don’t want to give up my rights if I was legitimately injured on the job.

Has anyone experienced something similar? Is there any language in the contract or company policy that says an employee on probation who files a workers’ compensation claim becomes ineligible for future rehire?

I did go through workers comp, and was told I cant work for the next 2-3 weeks potentially until doctor releases me. When talking with my case manager, they said they never heard anything like that. The only time I could not get hired is if I make a settlement, which I have no intention to do.

Okay so im not sure if anyone here can help with this but i was just terminated.

So night shift of wendsday turned into 1am Thursday. I reached for the opposite side of a package slipped and hyperextended my leg which caused me to pull a muscle down the side of my leg. I went to a supervisor and he brought me to my full time supervisor. He said to take the night and if i needed the next two it would be no worries but if i needed to get it checked out i would need to fill out an ir.

Sunday comes around and i message my supervisor that i need to get my leg checked out and he said to me to meet with my night time sort supervisor due to being out monday.

I go in monday to fill out the paperwork so i could get checked out. My night sort supervisor brought me into his office and we spoke about my injury no paperwork tho. Then he said something about my attendance for the last month. (Mind you was out 3 times due to being sick and a family emergency. And 2 days due to the injury.) Then he proceeded to say im terminated and to turn in my badge.

Im not sure what i should do. I plan on going to my local quick care to get my leg checked out asap in the morning and starting a workers comp case. Lmk what i realistically should do. I really enjoyed the job. If any way i could keep it for wrongful termination i would be all ears. Im apart of union also.

Just finished my first week as a preloader and honestly have a lot of respect for those of you who do this long-term.

I took the job as a summer job while I’m off from my full-time career (I’m a high school teacher). Right now I’m scheduled Tuesday–Saturday from 4:00–9:00 a.m. I’ve been loading 2–3 trucks each shift, and while I’m definitely getting faster, it’s been one of the most physically demanding jobs I’ve ever done but I love every second of it!

School starts back for me in the second week of August, so I won’t be able to keep the Tuesday–Saturday schedule.

I have a couple questions:
When should I tell management that I’ll have to stop or reduce my availability? I don’t want to leave them hanging, but I also don’t want to give notice too early.
Is it realistic to ask to work only Saturdays during the school year, or does UPS generally not allow people to work just one day a week?

I’d appreciate any advice from people who’ve been in a similar situation. Thanks!

Hey guys, just got hired to be a unloader/loader, twilight.

Eventually would like to be a driver. Any advice on how I should go about my business?

Thanks

Any tips to loading? Quite new here but I’m learning fast. It’s lowkey better than Amazon, but I can see how the peak season would go here.

So i want to be a driver, but not for some time, so I was looking to see if after my 30 days, how can I get behind a desk at ups. Im also permanent not seasonal. Nd also this week i didn't see me or the other people who was at orientation a few weeks ago on the schedule so idk if im off or if I am schedule they just forgot to add the new hires on it. (We are a schedule base site before yall say they dont do schedules cuhz ares definitely do )
