    This thread is about UPS, ABF,(union) also FedEx, OD( non-union). There all great long term ltl companies to work for. If I had my choice it would be UPS, or ABF with there great contracts. The non-union ltl companies continue to stay somewhat competive with union scale. To answer the question alot of labor laws that are followed today were created by unions. Go read some history books, your answers are there.

    Paying well is a relative term. Compared to flipping hamburgers at McDonalds hauling cheap freight pays well but compared to other jobs it doesn't pay so well so it's sort of a matter of opinion or individual circumstances.

    Hard to find good benefits in Pennsylvania unless you work for the state or the government

    i've worked for UPSF (obviously) and FedEx freight and can say unbiasedly that both are OK companies.

    i can't comment on the other two one way or the other.
