[QUOTE="QKRSTKR, post: 1104817, member: 16710"] At the rally I attended Hall said it had to be pulled off the table when he got back, not by march 31st. When I got hired 20 years ago, pt at ups was a coveted job. You should see the new hires they bring in now. I don't see anyone in there right mind hiring in to work 3.5 hour guarantee with no benefits even at 10 to 12 bucks an hour. What's the incentive? They can go flip burgers, work a lot less hard, and get more hours @ 7.50 an hour. I hired in at $8 an hour 20 years ago. My previous job was min. Wage, think it was $4.50. Look how much min. wage has gone up, and ups upped starting wage to $8.50. Wow. Its pretty much a minimum wage job as it is. Take away benefits and it is a minimum wage job. When I was part time I stayed for the benefits and that if I did go full time I would be making decent money with good benefits. Ups made more money than ever before. So why is it we are to give up stuff, sell out future teamsters, when they have more money than ever? Competitive in the market place? Obviously they are competitive enough raking in the dough they are. Two tier wage now or in the future and existing full timers will have the biggest target in the world on their backs. Would you rather pay a guy 24 bucks an hour to pull a set of doubles, or 32 an hour? Pay someone $24 to del. boxes or $32? If two tier ever passes we' d have dug our own graves. [/QUOTE]
