[QUOTE="helenofcalifornia, post: 358445, member: 5170"] When I was clerking in a hub and doing damages at the end of the night, we would dump all our "damaged leakers" into one cut-in-half-lengthwise" 50 gallon metal barrel and then drain all that chemical mess into the floor drains that went directly into the river. It's a wonder we weren't killed by some chemical reaction!) Someone finally reported this to OSHA (not me-I was a good soldier!) and a $3 million dollar fine resulted and new damage rewrap procedures. Ah, the good old days. What I do miss is the comraderie we all had then. Pizza and beer after work, company picnics and outings, etc. And if I am not mistaken, I think those$500 and $1000 "bonuses" were actually contract signing bonuses. If we voted "yes" to the UPS contract, we got those bonuses. That is why all you part-timers are poorly paid now. Before 1982 part timers and full timers made the same wage. They bought us off.
