[QUOTE="IzzyTheNose, post: 1129224, member: 15470"] Slanging tacos for minimum wage for 4 hours a day for years doesn't leave you with arthritis, or gnawing, chronic joint pain. The probability of suffering permanent injuries is also much more prevalent at UPS than Taco Bell. You're just full of terrible comparisons and analogies, aren't you? You can't eat health benefits, genius. You can't use them to buy groceries, or pay bills, rent, or fill up the gas tank. We have such good benefits because of how hard the job is. They're not a "bonus", and should never be looked at as such. Not at this job. We don't deserve those benefits because of the job we do. We've friend'ing EARNED them. So when you stick your snout in the air, and yammer on with some hallowed talking point like, "Go show this contract to your neighbors", you undermine all of that by painting this picture that we're a bunch of pampered whiners. Yeah, I'll go show my neighbors this contract. And when they start to point fingers about how good I have it in comparison to them, I'll also drag them into the feeder with me for a week, so they can watch me load at 650+ an hour EVERY day for 4 friend'ing HOURS, and chase it down with an hour and a half of bulk with just one other person, because management wants to run the area cheaply. One week, and they can see all the harassment, and retaliation. One week so they can see how I have to work harder because someone with seniority is too lazy to pull their own damn weight. And if my neighbors should still feel inclined to point their boney fingers at me while proudly waving their snout in the air (they won't)? I can then point out that I still have a full-time job I get to wake up to in the morning. For everyone that might feel satisfied with this deal, or is still on the fence: we've EARNED a better proposal than the one on the table. Don't let anyone tell you differently. [/QUOTE]
