[QUOTE="Southwestern, post: 939024, member: 33209"] How much more do you think we should make? We're competing with FedEx Ground drivers making [U]less than a third[/U] of our total compensation. UPS management has done a brilliant job in keeping our productivity high in order to remain competitive. These aren't $30/hour jobs. They're most certainly not $35/hour jobs. Push the bar higher and you'll be pushing more work to FedEx. But do you care? Or is it all about you? An average misload does not cost the company anywhere near $100. If UPS wants to pay its employees (what's gradually becoming) minimum wage and push productivity beyond the limits, then it'll have to deal with frequent service failures. Alas, you get what you pay for. FedEx Ground offers high wages, full-benefits & tuition reimbursement to its PT employees. And they work in air-conditioned buildings, loading (or unloading) fewer packages in more hours. Meanwhile, UPS removed the fans & turned the heat down to 40F in our building. Who's going to attract the higher-quality employees? [/QUOTE]
