Dear Joe Public, I'm the Brown Sheep here at the Cafe. I know that. I wondered though

[Ancient Alien]

with you lurking, watching as customers or just even curious outsiders.

Will you stand shoulder to shoulder with my grandbabies & family holding picket signs claiming UNFAIR 50-hour work weeks for $117,403 a year?

That's $41.05 x 40hrs x 52 = $85,384
Then the OT rate at
$61.575 at 10hrs x 52 = $32,019


85,384
32,019 = $117,403 (actually its a bit more because the Union bargained our vacation paid weeks at 45-hours many years ago, but I don't want to split hairs)

I'm the odd man out here, the ugly duckling so it seems. So, Joe the Plumber when I walk out & shoot the bird to UPS for paying me $118,000 a year. Will you stand & support me good buddy?

I typically only work 45 hours a week

 

[Johney]

Where are you getting $41.05 an hour from? I'm at top rate and only make $36.31.

What about the poor unloader making maybe 10k a year and can't afford transportation.

Then they want to cut him an hour early from his shift.

Ok...so why would he be worried about striking then?

 

[Johney]

36.90

Not here, but we always seem to get screwed.

Our Rate $36.90 + $4.15 = $41.05

$36.19 here for FT package delivery driver. Still pretty good money. After 4 years of slave labor.

He works hard as he/she can to become a driver, feeder department. We all made $10k when we first started.

Can't get all coinage on year one. That's what damaged the NFL. Players getting guaranteed $20-million before playing in one NFL game.

Guess he is worried about public support?

10k on 1988 was one thing .In 2018 that's nothing

 

[Johney]

Our Rate $36.90 + $4.15 = $41.05

That's at the end of this contract(if ratified), so you're worried about striking then?

Guess he is worried about public support?

There will be no public support.

I don't know. Even some of my sups say how do you put up with this crap.

Big difference between 15-20k 25 years ago and now....and ups has always been a gogo company even when I started long ago but it has become ridiculous what they want someone who makes 10.50 and no health benefits do....that’s why they have the turnover they have....

 

[Johney]

I don't know. Even some of my sips say how do you put up with this crap.

Don't put up with it. My wife makes great money and when she tells her co-workers what we make and don't pay a dime for benefits their mouths hit the floor. We will get very little support from John Q Public if we were to strike. People won't look at the whole picture just the fact of how much we make and get for what we do. You gotta remember most people just think we carry a box to a door and that's it. We all know there's way more to it, but you can't change what most think.

That’s what everyone said in 97.... nobody said there would be support for teachers in Arizona and in the south but there was overwhelming support for them in both areas...
