UPS drivers in US to get $170,000 pay package [View all]
Shipping giant UPS has warned its profits will be lower than planned this year, in part reflecting the pay increases it agreed to grant US workers in a labour deal last month.
UPS said the average full-time driver would earn about $170,000 (£135,000) annually, including healthcare and other benefits, by the end of the five-year contract.
That is up from about $145,000 now.
The raises follow the most serious bout of inflation in the US in 40 years.

Sounds like they're talking about the loaded labor rate. I imagine what they take home will be a bit less than that.
