[QUOTE="hoser, post: 213047, member: 6357"] Uhm, $9 in 1989 is worth a LOT MORE than $9 in 2006. $9 1989 = $14.79 2006 source: [URL]http://www.westegg.com/inflation/[/URL] that number should be much higher, accounting for the inflation rate thusfar in 2007. So, no progress has been made. Absolutely none. While the hub rats break their backs like the drivers, they don't have the freedom of being outside and interacting with others, and they don't make a rate of pay anywhere near the drivers. I'm not going to attempt to give a "oh pay your hub employees $22/hr" crap argument, but your assessment of the wages in the hub is really off base. the only reason why you have people in the hub is for the benefits for their family, because they live in a hick town where there's no other opportunity, or the tuition reimbursement. Take out 1 & 3, you'll have a paralyzed UPS. [/QUOTE]
