[QUOTE="westsideworma, post: 207545"] when UPS is making more money than ever, why should we be giving them anything back? If they were in serious trouble or "in the red" that'd be one thing. We make them more and more money, put up with their cut backs and staffing ineptitude and they seemingly want us to be willing to take less. No offense but screw that. I work my butt off everyday doing whatever they ask and if you think I'm taking less than what I'm getting now for my efforts, forget it. I want to see a raise (a realistic one based on our work and responsibilities, not just 50 cents) in the PT wage and a bump up to 4hrs (granted I get 5+ on the preload so it doesn't really matter to me so much). If FT is guaranteed 8 we should be guaranteed 4. Anyone I've talked to said its the wages and the "negative reinforcement" that makes them consider leaving or actually doing so. Those problems can be fixed, question is, will they. Drivers stay (no offense intended whatsoever guys) because they're better compensated for the BS they put with, sometimes its debatable that its still not enough, but the fact remains a driver will be at 28+ an hour in 2 and half years...a part timer will be at 10/11 dollars...do you see why we can't keep anyone on the hub sorts, I sure can. Its hot as hell in the hub during the summer as well and they still push us at max speed. I understand they are running a business, but at the same time when you think about it, if you don't need the benefits or school money, who would work here (other than those who want to go driving)? PTimers can make that money (considerably more in most cases) anywhere else. With a new home depot and walmart opening up its no surprise that our application pool has dried up around here. [/QUOTE]
