[QUOTE="PiedmontSteward, post: 1191802, member: 42270"] [LEFT] [/LEFT] I'm a PT'er at UPS, but one of the guys on the picket line today told a local news crew he only brings home about $250 [B]every two weeks[/B]. It could be a lot better, but I bring home between $300-350 a week and that's after taxes, 2% to my 401k, union dues, and $3 to DRIVE. And I have no-cost benefits, paid vacations, and [B]sick days[/B]. Not to mention job protection and seniority rights. There's simply no comparison to be made; a lot of these folks in fast food or retail are barely getting by. Granted, I split a house with two other dudes but I can afford to take my old lady out somewhere nice once or twice a month and can get a six pack of craft beer on the weekend. [/QUOTE]
