First cut at this would be $23k of pension, plus health insurance. (Average policy for a family of 4 is running around $25k; UPS may have a better plan than average.) It's fair for them to include these because comparable employers do not include either. (Though it make the compare to tech workers less direct.)

There's a documented correlation between good benefits, low turnover, and higher profits.
It is fair, but not under the phrase "UPS workers make". That phrasing usually only refers to (pre- or post-tax) salary.

I would believe it. All I meant to say is that the 95k average salary will be skewed by having half their full time employees being there for >15 years.
I think you and I agree for the most part, I am pushing to keep a clearer distinction between take home pay and total compensation.
I agree, but even this is squishy. For example; pension benefits eventually are taken home by the employee.
Looks like UPS quotes above 95k avg, and 42$/hr avg after 4 years. I have no idea how that compares to average tech salary, but I agree that it is good money.
That last thing worth mentioning, also from UPS' site is that almost half of their full-time drivers have been at the company for >15 years. That's a long time.
