I worked at a UPS sort facility in the 1980s. Everyone there was definitely a human robot. Up to 130F temperatures were legal in the feeder trucks. All sorters and loaders were monitored by supervisors with stopwatches and clipboards. I can't imagine what it might have been like if not unionized and OSHA compliant. I also don't imagine conditions are much better now.
