[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 881243, member: 12570"] The fact that I and other outside hires did not come up through the ranks does not make us any less of a driver or employee. In my case, there is no way that I would have been able to provide for my family at $8.50/hr and then wait 3-5 years (or longer) for an open driving position. I was lucky to get hired during a period of growth and was FT in 11 months. This clearly wouldn't happen today--we haven't had an outside hire in at least 5 years. I have already conceded that coming up through the ranks would have given me a greater appreciation of how hard these kids work for as little as they are paid but it has been clearly established that [U]you don't need to know how to load them to deliver them[/U]. I may not have "earned" my spot but I certainly "earn" my paycheck each and every day. [/QUOTE]
