This comes in response to a growing trend in various sectors, where workers, from pilots to those in aerospace manufacturing, advocate and secure increased pay.
Package handlers and driver helpers earn $21 per hour for the holiday season, while delivery and tractor-trailer drivers will receive $23 per hour.
Last year's starting pay for package handlers was $15.50 per hour.
UPS is recruiting full-time and part-time positions, focusing on hiring drivers and package handlers, though some permanent roles are also available.

“We’re looking forward to delivering yet another leading on-time performance this holiday season and helping thousands of workers kick off their UPS careers in the process.”
