[QUOTE="satellitedriver, post: 1216180, member: 1664"] [B] [COLOR=#006400]You make my point for me. In a seniority based union structure there is no monetary advancement possibility for a worker that can produce more in less time. The worst worker is paid exactly the same hourly wage as the best. There is one exception, bonus centers. The teamsters hate them and use terms like "runners and gunners", "unsafe drivers" and "lunch skippers". A productive driver can meet all the same time standards that all UPS drivers are held accountable to, and make "free" money by beating the time standards. I am a 60yr old driver, of 28yrs, and I have to load my own pkg car. I have to meet the exact time standards as you do in your center. My first check last week that I received after returning from hernia surgery had 8hrs of OT and 2.78hrs bonus pay. Never do I run. Never do I skip lunch. By no means am I a Superman, I have had spinal surgery -(before UPS)- two hernia surgeries and a colon resection for colon cancer, and I am a skinny old man. I just get P'd off having to read how people complain how hard they have to work for such a fantastic amount of money. [/COLOR] [/B] [/QUOTE]
