Will ups really hire convicted felons?

Are you sure about the ups hiring convicted felons. My son tried and he said they would not. How sure are you?

My daughter just left a job at Career Link (that is a state agency in PA that helps pennsylvanians find jobs.) She said that most states have similar programs (career one-stops), however most may not have things set up specifically for ex-felons, so he will have to see what might apply to him.
There are jobs available. Especially blue collar. It's going to be harder for ex-felons to get a job, because at the very least it has been 'proven' that they have - at the very least - bad judgement in choosing what to do or who to hang with.
I know that that sounds harsh, and I don't mean to be. I wish your son the best. Good Luck !!
