[QUOTE="teamsterdan, post: 102226, member: 5350"] my personal solution to the 9.5 problem would be to identify the routes / areas that typically run over and bid them out monthly or however same deal for routes / areas that get little or no ot........seeing my wage as a 22.3 employee jump to the same $$$ as drivers may cause me to change my handel to UPSDAN.......now I'm not saying that 8.50 is much; it's what I started @ in 93......both the market for workers and employers have changed drastically, the work and the benifits have not....in 93, 8.50 was a decent wage, most employees were like me and going to school, never though twice abt. the health care benifits unless we got in a bar fight and needed stitches.......now 8.50 is a joke especially for the nature of the work BUT 4 hrs. a day, virtually FREE health care....now you get single parents or spouses who work a 2nd job, THIS job specifically for the families health care.....I have seen so many part-timers who quit or passover driving jobs because "the supervisors are too hard on them" that on avg. you can go from part-time off the street here, to driver in less than 5 yrs........I say friend'em make the wage $9.....As far as the APWA being god's gift to the labor mvmt. blah fing blah..... the teamsters changing, sucking, what ever...is the fault of us the members letting it get that/this way .......I personally don't do enough, but then again neither do they, in reality we must all know that it's by far one of the best deals around otherwise most of us would be else where.....
