Makes no sense to add fuel charges when cheap fuel supply contracts were signed 1 year ago.
Is this double dipping? Fuel supply agreements are made sometimes years ahead while prices are cheap. Not fair to keep adding fuel price hikes to the customer. Customers are not blind to this they just move on to better deals.
If 27 more facilities do close in 2nd quarter of 2026 which ones will it be?
Likely rural centers as the goal seems to be picking up B2C packages near big city warehouses and not spread out residential deliveries. However every other package delivery company is after this same easy money. Least work gets more dollars.
The hot air balloon flew over but no $$$150,000.00 $$$ fell out.
Looks like it got popped and fell to the ground with an empty basket. Let the ones who fought for your good wages and100% paid healthcare( The Union ) keep your basket full and quit counting on those who care nothing for you. All deals must go... — read more

Do drivers really believe they will get $150,000.00 straight cash in the latest bait to leave?
Watch the wording $150,000.00 "PACKAGE" offer. Clever attempt at Union busting to cause in house disloyalty. If company can only lobe 1 offer around Union negotiated contract agreements , they have set an established pattern to go around the Union... — read more

Are the rumors about not that many drivers taking buyouts true?

Will the Teamsters call a nationwide str-ke to make UPS negotiate deals thru Union only?

Peanut gallery is open--$1,800.00 for every years' service.
Poor offer. 10 years x 1,800.00 = $18,000.00 before taxes. First round in all negotiations equals peanuts. Teamsters might be able to bump the peanut stand at least near 3rd base if not home plate possibly.
What are the pros and cons for UPS drivers who would take the buyout?
Best to get advice from Teamsters and your own local attorney before signing on so you do not goof up your own retirement.
