[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 1129296, member: 24302"] And I believe, but may be wrong, UPS drivers in Podunk, Arkansas make as much as those in Chicago and other high cost cities. A topped out UPS driver makes more than double what a starting Express courier makes in much of the country. A "B" payscale courier starts at $14.46hr and in the 3 years it takes his neighbor Bob to top out down at UPS at, what is it, $32.49hr under the old contract?, that newhire courier's pay will barely budge. I don't see the Express courier job being the equivalent of what a UPS driver does on a daily basis, and the cost of flying most of our freight eats up a huge chunk of our revenue. But the only thing that's standing in the way of us topping out at 10 years and being more generous with top pay is management's fervent, almost cult like belief that they deserve almost all profit for themselves and the big investors, while we should just be thankful they give us a job.
