[QUOTE="klein, post: 580311, member: 23950"] Problem is, we don't have that loyalty to UPS as you US counterparts do. They offer a lousy pension, not the best pay, unless you make it for 30months. We don't get tripple time here, no matter what (it doesn't exist) only time and a half. Ane we don't get home until 8pm or later each day. Sometimes I got lucky, got home by 7 or 7:30pm. And even at top rate, we have other easier driving jobs that pay more. I don't know anyone at our center with more then 15yrs seniority, that includes sups, and center manager. Turnover is huge. I think I was number 6 or 7 to leave or let go, in the first 6 months of this year. Now they are advertising for 3 more drivers for hire, 2 preloaders, and a mechanic. With winter and the darkness and the cold, plus xmas just around the corner, I wonder how many will stick around for $14.00 US/hr with no holidays, no medicine or dental coverage. But, again it's a number game (they lowerd costs, by getting rid of higher paid drivers, and hiring back at lowest rate, with no bennies.) Makes the books look good. And Teamsters is happy too, another $500 per each initial fee. And don't need to pay pension until after 2 years, and then just a lousy $50.00 cdn, if they complete year #2. [/QUOTE]
