[QUOTE="bbsam, post: 820218, member: 22662"] Worried? No. Amused? Yes. I have always paid well above minimum wage. It has been noted and acknowleged here many, many times that Ground has some very bad contractors and that they treat their drivers poorly. But what lawyer is going to be able to or want to delve into the payroll of thousands of contractors do all the legal depositions make the court appearances only to find that Joe Contractor Inc. has no assets to satisfy a judgement (as Upstate pointed out and everyone else ignored)? So if I am insulation, I am an effective layer of it. But it seems once again that the folks around here simply don't want Ground to use contractors. Not even if the drivers working for the contractors are cool with it. Case in point: That little thread I started a month ago trying to get wage information? Very little response. You don't want Ground to get better. You have an axe to grind and nothing more. Here's the thing that should worry MFE and Cactus. Ground drivers are about to get a huge raises in states going to the ISP model. We are going to have drivers going from about $13/hr up to about $!8-20/hr almost over night. So while it's not UPS wages, I think that fact will be lost on the driver who is focussed on the extra 15 grand a year they are no making. Think of it. A work-force elated to be making what MFE and others have been disgusted with for years. Worried? No. Very much amused.:happy-very: [/QUOTE]
