UPS Relative Policy
 
I sent an inquiry through a "contact us" link on UPS' website and received the following answer in the form of an email with "UPS Relative Policy" in the subject line;


Yes, we do have a relative policy for crewmembers. The only relative you can have working at UPS is a cousin. All other relatives working here would keep you from employment. I hope this answered your question. Thank you for your interest in UPS.

Don't give it up. I had to wait for a family member to retire and it's worth it. Another friend left DAL after several years when his Dad retired.

Thank you for the words of encouragement. My brother will retire in 7 years so I guess I still have a shot.

I thought of killing my brother but thought that might make family holidays a little awkward. Focused all my attention on FedEx instead. Hallelujah!!

Well, since you are SOL anyways, can you email them and ask this:

Can you please tell me when this completely retarded policy might change?

Oh yeah, and can you add in: If this is the policy, how is it that the airline's president's brother in law is employed as a pilot here? I think that's a fair question.

If one of these guys had a hair on their A'hole, they'd be suing the hell out of UPS over that little overisght instead of whining about how unfair it is.

Or how about "didn't two brothers started this company?"

What good would that do? Nepotism policies are completely legal and outside the scope of the EEOC. They need to just focus their attention elsewhere.

Not missin' the old days at GAE are you? I heard things had gotten pretty ugly at Options, unfortunate. I tried to PM you but I guess being a new guy to APC I don't have that capability yet...or I just am too dumb to figure it out. I'm in the phone book; give me a call sometime.
