Tech workers react to UPS drivers landing a $170,000 a year package with a mixture of anger and admiration::Some tech workers questioned whether UPS drivers deserved high pay — others jumped in to note the importance of the jobs and harsh working conditions.
As a Tech worker I think my job is more sophisticated, but much easier and less stressful than of an UPS driver, and I’m happy they can get a decent wage.
That’s the point of a union – people in skilled and sophisticated work can benefit from it too, but the folks whose jobs are extremely demanding but basically fungible really need a union.
