Ceo makes 13 million last year, last time part timers got an increase last was 1997. 15 years!!! Starting should be at least 13. They work you like a dog

Its not UPS dictating starting wages here. Its supply and demand. If people keep flocking to UPS to start work at $8.50/hr, it must still be a good starting wage, otherwise they would find work elsewhere.
If UPS couldn't find enough qualified people wanting to work at $8.50/hr, they would raise the starting wage to lure more workers in.

How are they flocking? It is an unskilled labor if some can walk and has hands they'll hire you.

They are flocking here for the benefits.
Which is exactly why they start at 8.50. Oh and they offer bennies. Ups would gladly pay 13 an hour and take away benefits. That would be cheaper

You don't grasp how much it costs UPS to pay for those bennies. Again, if you don't like it, Fastrac is hiring. As well as Walmart, McDonalds, Burger King, Subway, ect. They don't require very much hard labor and pay you $10 an hour with a free uniform and lunch. Have at it.

...which is why there should be the option of declining health insurance in favor of a higher wage...

You want a toe? I can get you a toe.
Let me give u a little advice to helP you in life. When you have an opinion and it seems like everyone is against you. It's usually not everyone else that is the problem. Take a long hard look in the mirror.

My youngest is 22 years old goes to college full time and works in the sort aisle on the twi and has his own insurance thanks to the IBT. He just got done his 4 year progression in June and now makes reasonable money. He say's he hates UPS but is always on time and a good worker. I always tell him that hard work and paying your dues is also part of your "tuiton" and that I am proud of him .He will be a better man for it.
I do not think the young people @ UPS appreciate what they have. They just want to bitch about the work and the PT sups who for the most part are the same age they are.I was married @ 22 and working 6 days a week so it is hard to be sympathetic,also my wife worked at Brown then and they didn't hire relatives or else I would be collecting the $4500.00 a month pension now and working a little part time job somewhere other than UPS. LOL

There should be a thread titled "Ask Upstate"! He then could share his ego with himself, be sarcastic and demeaning to his customers. He would be able to lower himself to exchange/explain his knowledge with those who have less than 1000 posts. What do ya think??

I like this idea. I could have several threads, each one patterned to a region of the country.
BTW, although it may be anatomically impossible, I would really like you to try the suggestion that I left in your rep inbox. Dave.
