ABOUT

Title: About UPS
Text: UPS (United Parcel Service) is one of the largest package delivery companies in the world, founded in 1907 and based in Atlanta, Georgia, with about 400,000 employees. Those brown trucks and uniforms are its trademark, and most of its US hourly workforce is unionized through the *Teamsters*, which is a big part of why the pay and benefits are what they are.
Text: For a lot of people, the way in is a part-time package handler job in a hub, loading and unloading trucks. It is physically demanding and the shifts are short and often very early or overnight, but it starts at a solid union wage, comes with tuition help from day one, and can lead to a full-time driver seat that pays extremely well for a job that needs no degree.
