[QUOTE="PiedmontSteward, post: 1149636, member: 42270"] Probably somewhere in the neighborhood of $18.00-22.00/hr. But we've got part-timers on other sorts getting their 3.5 gurantee or just a hair more and getting kicked off the clock. 17.5 hours week x $21/hr = $367.50 gross. That hourly rate doesn't mean much when you're barely getting any hours. Back when you guys were PT and when I was first hired in the early 2000's, it was all you could eat and I had to turn double shifts down. Since '07/'08, districts have absolutely cut hub hour/OT allowances to shreds outside of peak and try to shove more cardboard out the door during the sort in less time than ever before. We had a package car bid recently and the least senior guy had at least 18 or 19 years under his belt. I work with a 16 year and a 17 year guy that managed to slide in as [B]cover drivers[/B]. Our building's management internal estimate is 12-15 years; I saw this on a dry erase board after the division manager had a "retention meeting" before the sort while I was in the office. Sorry Stink and 407, but there's no defending a four year progression. This was a major concession -- during an era of record profits, no less -- and one of the sticking points in how I voted.
