[QUOTE="InsideUPS, post: 1093714, member: 31414"] At first.....I was also concerned about the "court of public opinion"....however, if you really think about it, UPS is setting themselves up for the same criticism they received from the public during the 1997 strike: How will the public feel if it is publicized that for over 50% of our work force is part-time and receives the following: 1) $8.50/hour ($0.50 less than the proposed minimum wage) ($7,735 Gross per year) - ($4320 for insurance) = [B]$3415 /year[/B] 2) NO family Benefits for 18 months 3) $90.00 per week for family benefits after 1.5 years with increases of 10% each year of the contract. ($4,320 per year first year) 4) Only guaranteed 17.5 hours per week 5) Handles packages up to 150 lbs. 6) Works in cold/hot trailers, dusty conditions, Not to mention all the deception that took place regarding the creation of the 22.3 jobs and sub-contracting of our work to the USPS... All while our CEO Scott Davis receives his $13,000,000 per year while working in the Atalanta Palace with adequate heat, light, etc.. I REALLY think we need to put a UNION PR video together and highlight the above to the public. Done correctly, UPS will be the "Poster Child" for Greedy Corporate America...... [/QUOTE]
