If you or someone you know is currently looking for a job, UPS is looking to hire 100,000 seasonal employees nationwide for the holidays. 1,000 temporary positions will be for the facility in Ontario. According to a UPS news release,
"The increase in the number of workers comes ahead of an anticipated spike in package volume that will begin next month and continue through January. We’re preparing for a record peak holiday season. The COVID-19 pandemic has made our services more important than ever."
The UPS facility in Ontario is located at 3480 Jurupa St. and they are looking to hire tractor-trailer and package car drivers, as well as package handlers for the seasonal work.
