[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 370039, member: 4653"] I also think its huge that we don't have to pay for health insurance. Massachusetts residents are now required by law to have health insurance or you lose your state tax refund. I know people that pay $200-300 per month for a family health plan. I pay zero. We also get money paid by the company to the teamster pension fund. It amounts to a couple of hundred per week. Again, we pay nothing out of pocket. I have taken this for granted in the past, but no longer do. I don't see too many ads in the help wanted section for which I'm qualified that is for work on days with no weekends, paying $28+/ hour, free health/dental/vision for me and my family, yearly raises, union protection, the opportunity for overtime (this can be viewed as a + or - but I count as a +), and pension fund contributions that don't come out of my pocket. Has anyone here ever discovered such an AD? Fact of the matter is, many of us stay because of the compensation package. Many people complain of the job. If you don't like, then just leave. Problem is we can't because most of us have nothing else to fall back on that comes remotely close to what UPS has to offer. I'm done ranting, I apologize, Brownie [/QUOTE]
