[QUOTE="FedExer267, post: 690820, member: 18716"] Nice to see I am not the only one. I work 70 hours a week for less than your brother makes so I am making under 10 a hour. The thing that really gets me is we work hard and we bust our butts to get the job done. Promises of bonuses raises and other incentives which in my time at ground I have yet to see. Its bad enough we do not get benefits or a vacation with pay which would be a nice thank you. We are basically making 20 dollars less a hour than UPS does when its all said and done yet performing the same job. Some would have you believe that this is a supplemental income job but I ask you would a supplemental job take a daily, weekly, and yearly toll on your body I am thinking not. A supplemental income job would be working at a store 20 hours a week checkingout purchases of customers not much wear and tear there. I believe its pretty funny that we can work 70 hours a week and UPS and Express can only work 60 but lets face it cheap labor its not like we are getting paid overtime. Many of us have no choice but to get government assistance when it comes to health care and food stamps because we are still trying to provide for our families, which comes out of your tax paying dollars and thats the plan to shrink the national debt to raise taxes which screws you even more. Like I said before most of us are only doing this job because we were laid off from previous jobs when the economy tanked. Waiting patiently for the economy to rebound and doing whatever we can to make sure our families are provided for. Now you have this new addendum that basically will take its toll on th ground when drivers starting falling off the wall like flies. Anyone you want to hire needs 6 months experience.
