[QUOTE="outamyway, post: 574842, member: 9896"] UPS's part time pay today does not pay well if you look back 30 years ago. A 60% difference in job worth is a huge difference. $8/hr in 1980 was worth ~$20/hr in todays money. Granted the jobs are a little bit easier to learn with PAS, once it's learned, the jobs are the same. The national minimum wage is catching up fast. In some states it's already beyond the starting rate for part timers laid on in the master agreement. With health care now a year away, it makes the job worth that much less. It's good to see UPS and the union has taken great care in the interest of full time workers, but in the process they have neutered the worth of biggest percentage of the work force (I am in no way saying a full timers job is worthless or that they make too much. I have done it and I know what they put up with everyday). [/QUOTE]
