[QUOTE="John19841, post: 938322, member: 10939"] Until the cost of living stops going up, the pay will never be enough. The point at which we say it's enough, is the point at which the concessions will start. The cost of EVERYTHING in this world rises. It's a problem to believe that the only thing that should not increase is one's pay. You are effectively telling me that I should take a pay cut. You need to realize that by doing what you said, and taking a pay freeze in exchange for a raise for the part timers, you're only prolonging the screwing of said part timers. If you give them a raise now, and not give the full timers a raise, then they'll lose out on that pay that should of been when they become full time. This job is not the end all of jobs. Maybe where you are you're making a killing; where I am it's just average. For the amount of work we do, we are compensated fairly. Part timers are also compensated at an average rate for a PART time job. A PART TIME job is not a career. The total compensation package for a part time employee is more than just about any other part time job you will ever find. Give them their benefits after 30 days. I agree with that. Start them at $10 with yearly raises. The incentive to take the part time job with UPS is the guaranteed $70k+ job to come. UPS has no shortage of people applying for that. In a business sense, paying them more to start is throwing money away. I'm not saying they're not worth more than that, so don't put words in my mouth. Just saying it like it is. [/QUOTE]
