[QUOTE="HappyP, post: 555469, member: 23523"] I normally don't post on the board, just usually read to see other UPSers views. But, I felt compelled to comment on this thread. I am sorry, but who in their right mind would think that being an independent contractor with no benefits and making 80K a year is better than working for a company where you have benefits, pension, 401K plan, etc. My goodness, the medcial benefits alone are valuable especially when you have a family to consider. $80K a year is nothing when you have to pay for everything and have nothing to fall back on. Please do keep believing in Mr. Smith, he will take you to great places and when you find yourself needing a job in 5 years, you can always go to upsjobs.com and be put on the waiting list to become one of our drivers. Then you will understand what it means to have security and stability. Yes, we have a union but what you fail to realize is that if Fedex employees were as happy as they claim to be and don't want the union, then they have nothing to worry about. The union still has to be voted on and if everyone is all peachy, then life won't change at Fedex right??????? guess not, because Fred wouldn't be pulling out all the punches.
