[QUOTE="Inthegame, post: 966184, member: 37112"] FedEx pays an average of $18.50 [B][I]less[/I][/B] per hour in wages and benefits for full timers. Obviously UPS costs are much lower for pt's but benny's (when eligible) aren't insignificant. CEO pay isn't a union issue. Full timers have it "made" from the perspective of someone not doing their job. "Walk a mile in my shoes"... I didn't "create" the paradox, I merely pointed out reality. In my neck of the UPS woods, some FT's with 15 years seniority are laid off. But in any case, the union isn't to blame for lay-offs or a crappy economy that keeps pt's from moving into ft jobs. The Union did their job negotiating the avenues. It isn't the Unions fault the road is closed. Negotiated allowances for pt's to get future ft jobs is not without value. Calling that no help is off base. Pt'ers always think money first. Running to false solutions of RTW as a way to improve a lousy situation is counterproductive. I absolutely agree pt's are getting the short end, but I have been told by some wheels who recognize this disparity pt wages will be improved. If you're looking long term, pt is the best way to ft. The really question is, do you want to wait for a full time job that's getting increasing tougher every day and do that for a career? If not, moving on might be your best course. [/QUOTE]
