Working at UPS I always loved Christmas time rush. No standing around or getting sent home early. Then again I was part time and the UPS I remember is 7 years ago. Also UPS didn't tell me when I could use the restroom or try and keep performance targets on me. The difference a union makes in these types of jobs is pretty sweet.
I'm also now sure where there is criticism that employees need to turn to 'federal assistance'. Amazon warehouse jobs have been on the high-end in terms of pay for this kind of job for many years. Well above minimum wage in most states.
