[QUOTE="VTBrown, post: 246245, member: 11076"] For some reason your thinking loading 5 cars somehow makes it a job that requires much more then basic reading and human thought with some inhuman effort required. I'm not saying it isn't physically demanding at times. I'm saying it's a basic unskilled job and is paid accordingly. I was a preloader and a floater at that. So I never got "used" to my cars. The job now is MUCH easier. Yes....for all of it's problems PAS made it much easier to load the cars how they want it now. As to your PT wages in MA.....do those same PT jobs offer [B]FREE[/B] benefits, vacation and sick pay as well as a pension? Do those same PT jobs offer a chance to make as much as $80,000 a year with no secondary education needed? You think what you want but in the REAL world very very few PT employee's are actually getting benefits if they did in most cases it would be their entire check or most of it. It's not a job for everyone.....FedEx offers more money for Handlers...it's true. Do you ever wonder why with even a higher starting wage they are advertising weekly in the papers for handlers? Even in a rural area as mine. It's not the starting pay. It's the environment. It's the lack of KEY PART-TIME positions for people to aspire to that don't want to be management or full-time.It's the crap they have to listen to everyday whether it be complainers or the Union/Management battles. It's just not an enjoyable place to work. [/QUOTE]
