[QUOTE="HEFFERNAN, post: 377146, member: 11315"] I feel there is a very good reason Part-Time wages are low and for the 1-year wait for benefits. UPS wants to hire 18-19 year olds. That's it. And it makes perfect sense. Why would UPS want to hire a 40 year old who's gonna break down in 5 years and use up the medical benefits? So if they push the benefits a year later, the older ones will look at the pay for this job and walk out. Not worth it for them. Unless they look past the low wage and back-breaking work to their ultimate goal (cheap medical benefits) "the golden ticket" The young guns that come in look at this company as a stepping stone to bigger things, be it a career working here or reimbursing their college classes for good grades. There is a different mindset here and that should not be undervalued. I'm not saying they don't get hurt, I'm just saying they bounce back a lot quicker being young and most injuries will not be long-term. In my 15 years in the company, UPS has a reason for everything. AND I MEAN EVERYTHING. I'd bet my UPS stock that this is the main reason. [/QUOTE]
