CNBC Exclusive: UPS CEO Carol Tomé Talks Q1 Results, Labor Negotiations and AI 

Yeah she wouldn’t last 5 minutes but your mentality would have UPS filing for bankruptcy and you wouldn’t be able to budget the money efficiently.

This old dinosaur needs to leave and let the union run the company

​@@ImAyBeastUPS in makes an insane amount of money... They can afford to pay their employees and stop being a freeloader on America

@@Onehourworkout you said it yourself. UPS makes insane amount of money. So go start your own package delivery business and pay your workers 100/ hour. Just because UPS is was successful doesn’t entitle you to any of their profits. No one forced you to work there

@@ImAyBeast I can guess that you work an office job and I have never worked in the real world

Agree bro

What a 🤡🤡 she is. They profit off the labor workers blood sweat and tears. 👎👎👎

Its been terrible loading in those trucks its been 106 degrees in there no ac no fan

😂

🐂💩

You know it! We are fed up! Local 222 over here

Yeah exactly. My question is how can a union company allow for that to happen???

#payup

She didnt mention that the majority of workers for UPS are not drivers, they're what part time workers etc working bad hours/late shifts/overworked, competition to get overtime etc? I don't work for UPS but I truly hope all the teamsters 340k of them go on strike for at least a week to make UPS pay up.

@@pete9932 I am one of those part time workers who works as a package handler for the past ten years. Thank you for saying this

@@badpalsx1lmao get another job or full time is too close now maybe another 3 years and you’ll be making great money 😂😂😂

Well said brother

She's a paid puppet. Wall St pos

It's currently a terrible place to work....constant harassment for production while paying unsafe "runners" bonus pay. Stay safe drivers. Don't work unsafe. And file harassment grievances.

Sean signed an NDA with UPS. He's not a reformer, he's a sheepdog.

​@hjustice1713 UPS arrogance has caused the veil to be lifted. It's such an extremely toxic company(..it has been for decades..) to work for and people are finally getting tired of it.

Yes because she work hard for that job

@@Your.mama.1 she should pick herself up by her bootstraps.

@@mec8351 well she has the money

@@Your.mama.1dude they literally miss pp paycheck. Like there are some days they don’t give ppl their paycheck even if they put in their hours

I thought I was the only one! So when do we get all of what we are owed? I heard hazard pay was like $22/hr for part timers right? I was still getting paid $15/16/hr! All 3 years of me working through COVID, double shifts, I was supposed to be getting bonus pay!? They have to owe me if that's the case!

@@shyjy6241 Sounds like you need to file a grievance..

​@TheWilliam1266 Teamsters don't care they pretend like they do but they are all Golf buddies with the Management at UPS.

Inadvertently, I took the first two weeks off for vacation. So if we strike, I’m already paid.

I actually scheduled 3 weeks vacation just to ensure I'll stay afloat if a strike is authorized...

Great idea brother but no way would sups allow that to happen

Just call off

Unions are parasitic!

ive been with ups almost 30 years. they poor mouth us every contract year for leverage during negotiations. hopefully O'Brien won't but her lies. she is a criminal

Have you ever considered what we make and what we do? In the industry we are paid much more than the competition.

@@crogers4912 we do much more than the competition. we deliver almost double what the competition does in a day per driver.

@@crogers4912 FedEx pays 23$ an hour, DHL is paid 22$ hour, we’re currently paid 17.50 at my hub and last year they cut us to 15$ while FedEx and DHL haven’t changed and before you start saying “we have better benefits “ DHL and FedEx have very similar benefits to UPS only difference is pension I have a buddy at DHL who is almost breaking 600$ a week for the same work I do working 35 hours plus a week, while UPS has been killing our hours the past couple months, we are all struggling to make more then 300$ and 20 hours a week WE ARE UNDER PAID !!!!

@@crogers4912 just because we are the best doesn’t mean we can’t get better. The bar isn’t high

She pulled so much shady crap and now she can't backtrack and admit that the profits were unpaid wages. She doesn't care about ups, the employees or the customers. She cares about money. Better question is why did the bod pass over so many others to pull her out of retirement? She sold freight at a huge loss (30%) within a week of taking over. Hmmmm

You forgot to mention that she's a pig.

Nah, she's the best CEO we've ever had. She cares about the people so much. UPS used to be just a job for me but after she became CEO, there was a major culture change. People was her number one concern then the business.

I was thinking more like Jeff bezos

​@r1sabotage you're joking, right?

Where this woman get her info from? Apparently we've been with the teamsters for over a hundered years...when you only care about the numbers, its easy to make numbers up

I was thinking the same thing.

That made me sick on the stomach! I been driving since 2018 and was very short of 70k

Still not enough!

@@georgeclayton4171are you at top rate?

Lmao FedEx ground makes 35k/year..cry more

@@codyeasley2152 that doesn't sound right. I know a couple fed ex ground drivers and they both make way more than that. No benefits though, but they do have AC and only have to work 5 days a week.

We should’ve gotten Hazard Pay for that hell we should get Hazard pay to work in Hot Weather

They didn't lower your wages. They just took him back down to where they were. Then the offer didn't incentive to work 5 days a week and beyond time. Which was the equivalent of the raise they gave you? So they didn't take anything away if you Showed up to work. I don't blame you UPS I would have restructured it too. You need people there to work if you overpay them so they don't show up. That's not much of an incentive.

@@Romanj28 That's ridiculous One hazard pay for working in the cold hazard. Pay for working in the heat. How about hazard? Pay for working in the wind or under bad management. Hardly anybody's life was in danger. During the pandemic, it was For the most part a scam to scare people

And the noise, those levels are not regulated!!! Enough is enoigh

My pay got cut after the pandemic. I lost 2.00/hr . Don't talk about something until you have had 1000 packages in your hands in 95 degree heat, with no fan or air conditioning 😊

Why would she tank the company? Why are they cutting hours and laying off employees at a time like this? It's like they WANT us to strike. Do they not care? There has to be some benefit/plan for them, I don't think they are that dumb. Maybe they are taking a gamble that we won't strike because people need money in this current economy...

I think she wanted a strike all along. She wants to hire cheaper employees during the strike. She doesn't care about the company, employees, nor customers. It's all a greedy shell game.

@@shyjy6241 it's all about stocks. purposely manipulating the stocks so they can by it back for way low

And a 27 million dollar bonus check helps.

Rat

If you are jealous, you can always apply for CEO. Would you like to be paid like a burger flipper or a dish washer? If not, then you should not expect to be paid like a CEO.

@C Rogers I did apply they hired me for the warehouse. Is that the us she was referring to at the 4 minute mark? "Good for UPS, good for the Teamsters, and good for us." Is this that club George Carlin was talking about and we ain't in it? So how could I apply for CEO?

@@richardjohnson4373 Well, if you cannot apply for a CEO job, you can start your own business and you get to keep the profits after expenses. I did. I had 2 during my 33 years at ups. We are the top paid employees in the industry. Period, full stop. When you talk about compensation, you have to add the cost of all benefits also. Can we negotiate for a better deal, absolutely! But these people are talking stupid.

That's something she doesn't want the public to know

so she sees the struggle if you listen to here …..pay your part timers.

They do this every contract. I learned not to trust anything that comes out between those lips

​@@markc2036 thats exactly right. I've been with UPS almost 30 years. they poor mouth us every contract year. she is a liar and thief. always had been.

She's the ceo of the company her job is to make shareholders the most money as possible. If she said the contract negotiations are rough the two sides are too far apart there maybe a strike. The stock would take a huge hit so stay positive and optimistic until time runs out then the stocks going to go down either way.

@@marioturcotte7938 and O'Brien job is to get the employees the most money and benefits he can. we have zero concern for the big share holders. we could care less about them.

Lmao, you’re talking about PART TIME management. FULL TIME management does not go home by 2:30pm. Managers and on roads supervisors start at 6-7am and they don’t not leave until 6-8pm. Everyday is a minimum of 10-12 hours. At least here in Van Nuys California hub

@paigemiller No I am referring to full time management. 2:30 and out the door. We have had drivers have accidents/injuries at 3:00 and managers were home with family No exaggeration!

The teamsters don't give a rat behind about part-timers and they never have. They are simply crying about the low wages. For the part, Tyler's to make sure. At the full-time, employees get a bigger Raise. They set up the 22.4 jobs. Made a big deal about that being for part-timers. Can they all went to full-time employees In the end.

They’re gonna have a lot of lay offs this year and just like the teamsters the guys with seniority could care less because everyone wants what is best for themselves! They know layoffs will happen but encourage the new guys to strike lol

Do you expect to work part time and live comfortably?

​​@@Fishharder-jg8mx UPS had layoffs in January/February (drivers and warehouse workers). Then where I work they gave us preloaders a sixth day of work (I'm fine with working a sixth day as those hours are overtime for me. You see they cut people but then gave that workload to others. That stinks for those who got cut. The work needs to be done, but it's less people doing it now. And a big issue is that the supervisors do a lot of our work. They cut hours and do our work so we essentially lose money. I think this matter really needs to be addressed. Also, a certain number of hours are needed each quarter to maintain the health insurance. I started working at UPS last year as a preloader and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out the games that they are playing there. There's a preloader who lives in his car and parks at UPS. They gave him by the end of the month to move. Why he doesn't work a second job, I don't know.

​@Fishharder-jg8mx most part time jobs give u 5-6 hours of work a day. UPS part time gives you 3- 3.5 hours of work a day. Combine that with the dirt low pay and they only make 200-300 bucks a week for 5-6 days of work in this hyperinflated economy

The CEO when covid first broke out said that we were sanitizing the trucks daily. LOL!!!!! That was a lie he was on the Today show saying that LOL!! That was a joke

LMAO, when you are part time it is not intended for you to raise a family on that. 33 years ago I worked 2 jobs while I was waiting to go full time. We all did. Grow up.

@@crogers4912 you management?

@@crogers4912 we have some common ground. In 1990, UPS was a great place to work. I started at UPS on June 30, 1998. My second or third year, I failed my physical to go driving cuz my right eye has a weak optic nerve and HR said I was a “liability if something happened to my left eye”. For the last 16 years I have worked two jobs just so I can get by. At my hub it takes a long time to go full time other than driving. So UPS can pay up. I take it that in 1990, starting pay for a new hire was either $8.00 or $8.50. Since 1998, starting pay has only gone up $7.

@@markc2036 Nope, everyday Package car driver who knows how to think for himself.

hell no

Where else do part time workers have insurance for free, paid vacations, a PENSION!! If it was that bad, you would work somewhere else. Fyi, I'm a 33 year UPSer.

25 year employee here... I just had the same conversation with an inside part-time employee. Where else will you get all of the benefits on a part time base. People who work at UPS who complains about the wages need to go out and see if they can do better.

@@crogers4912out of touch my brother

So? UPSs business model is using PT employees who make around $20k/yr. So of course folks are gonna make less.

Well If you look into the main thing the teamsters are looking at it’s wages for PT.

Sooo…..she didn’t even mention what those people make lol

She also literally just talked about alll the corporate jobs she liquidated to technology for profit haha. I mean….she’s a ceo. If you are into that perspective sure go for it.

@@Teamsterteacher I agree whole heartedly. $20-$22/hr for PT new hires.

Hey Mark how much do the heads of the Teamsters make? That comes straight from our dues. How about all the money the Teamsters stole when Vegas was being built. Look it up.

@@crogers4912 what's that got to do with what she's saying? If she's going to tell what she says a driver makes why not tell what she makes plus the bonuses she probably gives herself. Apparently your in management

Yes crogers is management. He’s all over this video comment section trying to stir stuff up.

@@GB-wh3kg 33 years at UPS and a Circle of Honor Driver. So no Im not management. Just a man who knows how to think for himself and I'm here to tell you and everyone else. When you consider all the benefits and the pay per hour, we are compensated above and beyond what is right. Just because the union says it, doesn't make it true.

15 yrs!! Why didn’t you apply for full time position? Driver or something else! Just curious

Full time “combos” positions have been disappearing, not everyone who works for ups drives. There’s a longer list to gofull time working in the warehouses than going driving.

@@ubeks213666 Really? I would think the opposite

U said it part time go age ta full time job then

​@cg41006 Combo jobs take at least 7 years of seniority in my warehouse and it's at a large hub too. I can't imagine what it is for the smaller ones.

She'll never get to see a real hub in action unless she goes undercover. Whenever my hub had big wigs in town, for the time they were getting the tour, we all worked very slowly and methodically, like in an instructional video. Somebody would Zamboni the hub floors. 20 year old gunk was scraped from places not seen by humans since the place was built. It was ridiculous.

Ups always cleans up when the clowns come to town. She has no clue what really goes on . She is just collecting her millions and will pass it on to the next corporate lottery winner.

I work 38-40hs/wk and make $133k/yr. It’s whether you’re willing to wait it out til you get to that point. I worked 2 and 3 jobs along with my UPS PT position back when I started. I’m knew what I was getting into when I entered into a contract to be employed by UPS.

@@BobaJett at UPS? What position are you? That doesn't translate $42 hr.

@@tommyjer1979 Mileage run.

@@BobaJett gotcha..maybe I need to look into that..tough with kids tho

@@tommyjer1979 if you’re at an extended center with no feeder dept, then you’re at k with pkg car.

So? What does her salary have to do with any of this?

@@BobaJett the lower the ratio the more fair wages for employees. This ratio is not fair

@@revolvingdestination2297 I understand what your saying, but who says its not fair? Who makes that determination? A CEOs pay has no bearing on our pay or the contract we are promised. Most of her pay is bonuses/stocks and other incentives. Her true salary is probably around $800k-$2m/yr. Most union member with seniority driving make between $90k-$150k/yr. Thats about a 10:1 ratio. Also dont forget our health benefit package as well. Again, her salary is totally irrelevant when it comes to contract negotiations. She is one person.

@@BobaJett agree to disagree. It’s about corporate greed. Profits before people is unacceptable, the company can afford to pay the workers that make them billions in profits.

@@revolvingdestination2297 I agree. All I’m saying is if people want to be taken seriously, they have to get off this “look how much the CEO makes” train. Use other examples of corporate greed, not her salary.

Are you a full time driver with several years of tenure?

@@antoniot7928 almost top rate. Just trying to make a point a lot of drivers are in progression and don’t make those high wages that people talk about.

Oh, and UPS is currently testing out robots to do my job.

😂 good luck in NYC

@@BlissfullWulf 15 years seniority and you’re being forced to change your schedule? If you’re not the bottom guy I would be filing on that.

@@FloridaMan786 They're doing away with the Mon-Fri schedule for 2DA.

15 yrs!! Are you a driver?

She deserves every penny she gets. If you were smart and invested your money in the company, you'd have seen a 120% increase in your portfolio. The stock was trading around $80 a share with the other bozos that ran the company and she turned the company around. As management, I used to work 14-hour days, the culture changed, and I'm at around 9 hour guys, which is fair.

​​@@r1sabotage If you were really smart you would have invested in Tesla in 2011 and sold it in November 2021. 14 hours a day in management? Your not working just 9 hours as a driver no way. She still doesn't deserve what she gets paid. Where did she work last wasn't it Home Depot? If so go by there and ask the employees that remember her and see what they think of her.... not good. The CEO before her came from Wall Street correct? If so that's the one that gave his self a 7 million or was it a 14 million dollar bonus? That was something to do with the diad board that he really didn't have anything to do with the tech guys did the work

@@r1sabotage Stop kissing Carols ass she wont see this.

And at a huge (30%) loss, and she sold it immediately! It's all a big scam

She can pack some drama with those facial expressions and body language. It was quite comical!

Ya I heard she was holding back on a lot to make the numbers look great she’s a snake let’s just hope the teamsters don’t break under pressure

She's the first outside hire for the CEO position

And that was in the 70's yet she claims to have welcomed them in with open arms over a hundred yrs ago lmao

Yep a year ago I was working 35 hours at least and now I’m struggling to get 20 hours it’s bull crap

But you’re FT!! Quit crying. I would’ve killed for a FT position when I was in your shoes. What she makes is irrelevant to any of this.

​@@BobaJett The fact that since 224 drivers became a thing they have been driving a 100% of the time and they are getting paid less than what regular. Package car drivers make.

@@z4ck709 So?? Air drivers do the same job and make less, when I went to pkg I was classified as PT, yet drove FT hours and made less. The point is, 22.4s are FT! That is time vested towards your pension that you would otherwise not have had it not been for those created positions. Everyone said they would never become RPCDs, yet every 22.4 in my hub from 5yrs ago is now a RPCD. That’s 1-5yrs of vested FT towards their pension that they would not have if not for the 22.4 positions. How is that a bad thing?? It’s a flexible position for the company when volume ebbs and flows to help alleviate over dispatching the regular senior drivers. The company can use them as drivers or as hub workers as the volume dictates. It’s basically a cover driver position, like I was, but it’s a FT classification. It’s a win-win for both teamster member and the company.

@BobaJett. When I started in ups my one hope is not to become a person that becomes a grouch. I think you need a reset. I do the same thing RPCD’s do all day long 6 days a week. Times change I’m sorry it took you X amount years to become a full timer. There shouldn’t be two tier drivers. We have no rights at all. But let’s focus good for all out of this new contract. Be happy 😅

Air drivers deliver ten stops a day. And if they’re working more than 3 hrs. They should be talking to they’re steward to make another full time position.
