Title says: Tech workers react to UPS drivers landing a $170,000-a-year package with a mixture of anger and admiration

Bullet point says: The average UPS driver could get $170,000 in pay and benefits in five years' time in a new contract.

Quote from the fifth paragraph, "It's important to note that the $170,000 figure represents the entire value of the UPS package, including benefits, and doesn't represent the base salary."

Engineers not being able to read challenge, impossible. point-and-laugh-2

    The article is poorly written; it also says the $170k figure is salary plus benefits per year:

    During an earnings call on Tuesday, UPS CEO Carol Tomé said that by the end of its five-year contract with the Teamsters union, the average full-time UPS driver would make about $170,000 in annual pay and benefits, such as healthcare and pension benefits.
