[QUOTE="John19841, post: 614355, member: 10939"] When the company is [U]in danger[/U] of no longer being profitable, then we can talk about concessions or give-backs. Until that point, definitely not. Besides, how can we even consider pay cuts when our CEO (who is already paid at the rate of how many drivers?) voluntarily takes a raise the size he did? Where I'm from UPS pays a decent, living wage. Average income for my area is $68,000. I know there's a lot of people living on less. I get that. But look at it the other way; There's a whole heck of a lot living on more than that too. What I don't understand, I mean really don't get it, is why is so looked down upon in our society for a company to pay its employees a living wage? Especially when there's a union involved. Great example is auto workers. Everyone says they're paid too much. Is it too much to expect to get paid a salary one can live on, especially when they're responsible for building one of our biggest 'assets'/purchases? ...I blame it on Wal-Mart... [/QUOTE]
