There is one Ground driver who I see most often during the day as parts of our routes are the same. John does an acceptable job. He would have to pick up the speed if he worked at UPS but he is not a bad driver. He hurt himself during Peak and is still using a helper as he has not medically cleared. His only income was comp which does not pay the bills. If I had to guess I would say John makes about $15/hr.
Do I work twice as hard as John? Of course not. Do I deserve to make twice what John makes? That is not for me to decide.
You will see a two tiered wage structure for FT drivers, if not in 2014, then most certainly in 2028.
I bet you wouldn't feel this way if you were on the lower end. It would be a mistake by UPS in my opinion. It would create resentment and a lower morale. That would open a can of worms .
