[QUOTE="Ricochet1a, post: 925193, member: 22880"] In regards to XFILED post #25 regarding handlers... They come right out and say in their memo that handlers are compensated according to competitive market levels, so there is no need to boost their compensation. They are going to use a bit of manipulation for those in the lower paid job classifications (only found in AGFS) that if they are at top, their top end won't increase, but they'll receive a one time lump sum or some such nonsense. It is true that Express handlers are compensated in line with industry averages - especially when one considers that they receive health insurance after 90 days (they don't work enough to qualify for anything to go into the pension scam fund). However with the endless push to reduce damage claims to packages, one would think they would throw a few extra dollars to the handlers to help that. But again, the economy is still in the dumper (real unemployment is still in the double digit area, not the fantasy 8-9% figure put out by the Federal government), and there are plenty of bodies that Express can use and burn up (average handler only lasts about 6 months before they quit). Corporate America doesn't like economic slowdowns, but they definately like the over supply of labor and the subsequently low wages they can pay to the labor they do utilize. [/QUOTE]
