When I started PT did make the same wages as FT. $30/hr PT is the same wages as the new 22.4 top wage give or take a few Dollars.

I figure they'll ask for $25/hour and settle for $20/hour.

If that is you’re real name and picture get rid of it.
Give all the money to the full timers.
The part timers don't stay long nor do they vote.

Go get your booster
They also need to raise the starting driver wage.
I don’t even know what it is . I believe low 20s. These guys go full time so fast I’m kinda jealous . Sure the world is different now but why do these guys deserve to make the big bucks so fast . Took me from age 18 until 31 to make a living at this dump lol
$20.50 for a 22.4 and $21 for an RPCD.
IF YOU PAY PART-TIMERS $25 AN HOUR it won't get people incentive to go driving

I’ll make it real simple for you.
1. $30 per hour ain’t gonna happen.
2. If there is a strike, you can expect to be on the unemployment line for a long time because the bottom 25% of package car drivers will be laid off and displacing part timers to get their 8 hours.
3. While a strike may be necessary to force the Company’s hand, it will hurt us a lot more than it will hurt them. It will just cost them money, via lost volume. It will cost us 25% of the workforce. Look at the seniority list and see where you fall.
I think both sides realizes a lot at stake here

I agree. But, the people who are praying for a strike annoy me. They want to "teach" the Company a lesson. Show them who the man is. Payback for the way they've been treated. They would vote to strike even if they were paid $100 per hour.
They have a $250K house, 2 cars, put their kids through college, but want to strike the Company and sacrifice the bottom 25% who just started a family and bought a house just to show UPS who the boss is.
Don't get me wrong, a strike may be necessary, but it is a last resort. It will cost us more than it will cost them. But, they love money, so the cost may be too high for them.
