[QUOTE="Southwestern, post: 939279, member: 33209"] LOL. First off, management DOES hold its part-timers accountable for work performance. You may not see it, but part-timers are regularly given warnings, suspension and -- in some instances -- terminations for missloads, etc. Secondly, wages influence accountability. Drivers earn hefty compensation packages for unskilled labor, are unlikely to see compensation anywhere near their current level should they lose their job and there's no shortage of job applicants waiting for these positions. For these reasons, UPS knows it can hold drivers accountable for every error. Meanwhile, if UPS fired a part-timer barely grossing $10,000/year for every error, what are they going to replace them with? Another part-timer making similar errors. If UPS wants to attract higher-quality labor it can hold accountable, then it has to ante up. [/QUOTE]
