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. 

“This contract provides our members with wages, health care, and pension security that is second to none in the industry,” a union official 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.
