[QUOTE="'Lord Brown's bidding', post: 1082786, member: 32753"] There is more to your hourly salary than your wages. Just saw on my W2 that I "earned" well over 6-figures last year when everything is included. In addition, I would be surprised if UPS doesn't hire more drivers once they are cheaper to employ, which speaks directly to advancement opportunities for insiders. I don't think the vast majority of drivers hate the excessive OT, and of those who do many are not inclined for the fight filing 9.5 grievances and the like can bring, if they are even aware of the 9.5 list. The main problem appears to be the lack of opportunities. A two-tiered driving system could help with that. Would the $25/hr driver not get raises? And I have lived in a UPS two-tiered system as an article 22, working next to FT preloaders under the old FT wage. It used to hurt looking at what CLERKS made in comparison to me. Then i began to appreciative what a $50K annual salary had-to say nothing of the close to $20K benefits pkg. And this was pre-recession, but even then I was thankful for job, rather than bitter over what someone else was making, especially considering that option may not have existed if the salary of an art 22 wasn't set lower. As an aside, would a two-tied system affect Feeder drivers? [/QUOTE]
