[QUOTE="Oldfart, post: 2390416, member: 64407"] Other professions pay their employees according to market conditions. UPS is one of the few companies that pay everyone the same rate along with UAW workers. That is a union policy. Like I used in my earlier example. Should Little Rock pay its police officers 100k a year because a police officer in NYC makes that? No disrespect to first responders, I have brothers and nephews doing that stressful job. There is no way you can justify paying a Little Rock officer the same as a NYC officer. The same with couriers. You say we should all make the same. What if the company decided to pay everyone the same and used the Little Rock salary as its new rate. YOU WIN, we all make the same. Pay a NYC courier 60k a year and watch them run for the hills. You can not live in NYC on that salary. Almost everything you pay for is adjusted by the part of the country you buy it in. Housing, cars, clothing, even meals at restaurants cost more in NYC and LA than they do in Little Rock. You have to adjust your salaries accordingly. Go to NYC or LA and see the difference in the courier's day. It is day and night different than that of a Little Rock courier. [/QUOTE]
