[QUOTE="Working4TheBene's, post: 113723, member: 5903"] But isn't it true that in the end, money is all that anyone understands. I would have to agree that most employees at UPS (whether mgmt or hourly) all would like and deserve raises. Face it, our business depends on customers shipping needs. And as such we have to adjust our schedules to refelect those changing needs. Unfortunately (of funtunately - because more jobs will be created), it seems like all our centers and hubs will soon be open for business 24hrs a day in order to just keep up... Our union is both a blessing and a hinderence... at least in Northeast, our dues are $65/month... and as such, those part timers that are working hourly barely take home anything working around 20 hours a week... But we all know, without the union, UPS would probably not be offering benefits for part timers at all. We have to remain competitive with the other big shipping companies... but once fedex goes more union, I'm sure they too will begin to feel the tightning of their belts. [/QUOTE]
