[QUOTE="Backlasher, post: 246278, member: 6276"] I'm not some college kid, I'm 32 and know real work. Was a mason for years. You ever pour a footer 4 a foundation or build a basement with 12" block in the middle of winter? You ever work in a foundry? I poured metal and worked the furnace while the air temp. was 150 degree's. and have the company close shop after you've labored there over a year. I was paid well with those jobs and the raises didn't come small either. Don't lecture me. I'm only saying the truth. We're all in it for the top rate. It's just the small raises it takes before your at top rate that sucks for people like me that have too work work 2 jobs during the week and a part time weekend to support my family. I like it here at UPS and if I didn't I would'nt need a knucklehead like u too tell me 2 get a real job. What air-driver gets $8 hrly or takes 2.5 yrs to get $14. You don't even know what your talking about. Look at previos post for payscale to figure it out. My past careers came with many lay off's and 2 companies closed house so I HAVE known hard work for along time and that's why I'm here. Stability. The top rate is great but; 50 cents in a 20 hr. paycheck aint squat is my point! Top rate is a 2 year progression but if you can cry for a raise when your already making $27.50 hrly at full time then why can't the rest of us whine a little bit for bigger raises during our progression to top rate. Isn't that what a union's all about. Expecting more out of a company while there record profits and the Majority of us are part timers so why not show some support. I average 22 stops an hour doing about 45 A.M.s that I don't start running till 8:15/8:30 till 10:30. so I know I'm good at my job. It's not just LTR's either. I get bulk. It's not a little route either. My air covers 3 ground driver routes. Lots of over speed limits and running for me. and I pull load and sort my own truck and pull for my meet point to drop another drivers route 2. I like UPS but don't like your mouth.:ohmy: I'm stuburn and I'm sticking it out to time for ground but don't wonder why most of your part time pre loaders, sorters etc. give ya some misloads and it's a new guy loading the truck every 1 yr or so. maybe it's the small progression making them leave Those that stay for years preloading know that even during the dedication and waiting for it that it wasn't easy and I'm sure during those years other jobs have crossed there minds but the few stuck it out anyways 4 the same reason I am now. With or without a thoughtless mind like you. I'm in it for long term. I don't have to worry bout a lay off unless things get screwed up and we strike and loose so much volume to competitor cause $27.50 ain't good enough gets me laid off. 50 cents gets ya $10 bucks on a part timers check. I wasn't even trying to push an issue but You got me fired up now. 4 everyone else stuck reading this don't mind me. it's directed 2 him with no intentions 2 directly or indirectly insulting anyone else.
