UPS says it's moving as fast as it can to issue the back pay. But with fierce competition for workers, "I think they are holding the money hostage," one Louisville employee said. 

UPS plans to add 1,000 jobs in Louisville over the next 15 years by growing its Worldport global air hub, including adding a hangar that can fit two 747-8F aircraft, the largest in the UPS Airlines fleet, according to the company and state documents.

Gov. Matt Bevin said it was "not a given" that Louisville would get the company's investment of new airplane hangar and hundreds of jobs associated with aircraft maintenance.
