Otis Keys II, a UPS driver in Texas, has seen his monthly take-home pay decrease by about $3,000 on average despite a new union contract. This has forced him to rely on overtime and other shifts to cover the shortfall. His rent has also increased, making it difficult to save for a new home. Grocery costs and utilities have become major expenses, forcing him to focus on budgeting and cutting expenses. Keys plans to vote for Kamala Harris in the upcoming election due to concerns over President Trump’s anti-union stance. Despite the financial challenges he faces, Keys remains determined to get back on track with his savings plan and launch an athletic-apparel business in the future.
