[QUOTE="Southwestern, post: 939031, member: 33209"] That's for the compliments. Yes, I have been FT driving for almost two years, although I have many years of seasonal & air experience. I personally wouldn't have went FT if not for the compensation, but I possess a BA and am actively seeking employment elsewhere. That said, I fully believe that UPS could cut its total compensation in half (let's say $20/hour=top rate, employees pay 20% of diluted benefit cost & pensions replaced with a 3% 401K match) and still attract a very strong labor force. It's still significantly more that comparable jobs, after all. Don't get me wrong -- I believe the Teamsters should be proud that they've broken the traditional corporate model (giving management excessive compensation while giving the general labor force nothing). But the comments in these & similar threads among FTers (e.g. 'cut PT guarantee to 3 hours, eliminate benefits & pension for PT, cap PT wages at $14/hour') are nothing short than poor rationalizations for hiking what's an already excessive FT wage, and the wrong direction the company needs to take.
