[QUOTE="Sum Gai, post: 3760529, member: 74525"] Some of the comments in this thread and other threads about why part timers shouldn't be paid more have been so amusing I had to create an account. “Part timers shouldn't be paid that much because of how easy their job is” arguments get me the most. All my fears about how hard driving would be faded once I actually became a driver. The best thing about UPS is how much money you can make having no notable skills, talents, or intelligence as a UPS driver. Learning to use a diad, drive trucks, or deliver packages is so easy a chump off the street can be taught to do so in under a month. People are right to be afraid of being undercut by 22.4 drivers because the job requires so few skills drivers are easily replaceable. The hardest parts of being a driver is finding poorly labeled addresses, learning routes, and maneuvering certain boxes to certain places. Some days my brain goes on autopilot because how routine all of it is. The purpose of the union is to improve the standard of living for the workers no matter if part time or full time. If it can't do that or can only do it for a group of workers its a terrible union. [/QUOTE]
