Reasons to avoid

1. UPS holds an active logistics contract with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), according to public federal spending data.

2. New York's Attorney General sued UPS in December 2025 for systematically stealing wages from thousands of seasonal workers — failing to record hours, requiring off-the-clock labor, and manipulating timekeeping systems to deny legally required overtime pay.ag.ny.gov2025-12-15
3. A Washington state jury awarded a former UPS driver $238 million in a 2024 racial discrimination case. The driver alleged he was passed over in favor of less-senior white colleagues, repeatedly called "boy" by a supervisor, and assigned inferior routes and equipment.parsonsbehle.com2024-09-26
4. OSHA found UPS responsible for 1,142 severe workplace injuries between 2015 and 2022 — more than any other U.S. employer.

UPS resisted installing AC for years despite a petition with over one million signatures.nbcnews.com2022-08-01
5. In 2024, UPS refused OSHA inspections meant to install heat-stress monitors in its delivery trucks and sought to permanently block the agency from ever obtaining future inspection warrants for its facilities.bloomberglaw.com2024-10-30
6. The Teamsters union sued UPS in February 2026 for breaching its national contract — including eliminating union jobs it had agreed to create, bypassing union representation to deal directly with workers, and launching an illegal buyout program to shed full-time drivers.teamster.org2026-02-09
