[QUOTE="KTB, post: 251159, member: 11975"] The point I'm making here is that it isn't $8.50 plus benefits. It's more like $4..37 without benefits for a year compared to where wages were 20 years ago. There's been an incredible loss in the real wages that a new hire makes. $8.50 an hour is a joke considering what the typical new hire is expected to do. Loading and unloading for UPS are some of the most physically demanding jobs you can have. It's bad business for the company to think that they will be able to maintain employees at that kind of wage, and it's disgraceful for the union to think it's acceptable to hire people at that rate.
