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’m super happy they’re being compensated so well. We’re witnessing the power of workers organizing and I’m loving it. I would like to see unions in tech become a thing, but it’s impossible to organize anything with the people here and talking about it openly will get you fired for “completely unrelated” reasons.
Hey, I’m a union organizer at a tech company! Union support is more likely than you think in the industry. It’s all about a strong OC forming connections with your coworkers. If you want to be the change, reach out to CODE-CWA!
I think there is real pressure to divide different workers. This article is just one I’ve been seeing that had this narrative. And no tech worker I know is angry.
It’s okay to be angry when it’s directed the right way. It’s not the driver’s with whom anyone should be upset; it’s the executives refusing to provide fair compensation that we should all be angry at.
At my work I’m the office guy and I work closely with our service techs out in the field. I’m acutely aware they earn more than me and honestly, they deserve every penny of it. My broken old ass isn’t getting on a roof any time soon 🤣
The only thing I’m really afraid of is that with organization, they’d learn how little work I actually do.
