UPS labels have RFID (1 Viewer)

Some of those small labels UPS adds to packages for internal use have RFID. Could be to track higher value packages and to combat employee theft. I noticed UPS trucks have RFID readers on rear of them.

If my pay and benefits to drive a truck and deliver packages were almost $200,000, the chances that I would ever steal anything would be zero.

I was thinking most internal thefts are by hub workers (loader/unloader/sorter, etc)

So now workers can easily tell which packages are high value just by seeing if it scans with RFID....
Not comforting.

I don't think workers would have that ability. Loss Prevention probably has software to track these packages in case of theft/investigation. You can't see the RFID tag inside the label when it is on the package either.

My ex FIL, RIP, made 6 figures delivering for UPS. Theft is the last thing on their minds.
