[QUOTE="PiedmontSteward, post: 2209423, member: 42270"] Most hubs haven't hired off the street for drivers in a decade or more; the waiting list in my building is 14-15+ years. How else is someone supposed to become a driver other than working part-time? This "PT jobs aren't meant to support families" argument always seems to come from people who didn't have to sweat it out in the hub. At the end of the day, UPS and the union are both complicit in the starting pay issue for part-timers. The union at least [B]proposed [/B]$15/hour as a starting wage and it got whittled down to $10 in negotiations. $10/hr starting and no benefits for a year at a union job is atrocious but "we don't negotiate for the unborn." UPS clearly wasn't receptive to $15/hour and now gets to watch the revolving door of people unwilling to get screamed at and sweat bullets for $200/week. The "current generation" of employees at UPS play on their phones and goof off instead of working because UPS can't afford to be a little more stringent than "has a pulse" and "can spell their name."
