Double bonuses?

Last of the Mohicans

And in 20 or more years they will be saying that about the last RPCD driver.

To match pace with the times, $21 ought to be the starting wage for part time. That amount of money might also draw a slightly higher caliber applicant. Match that up with the current top rate driver pay and you would more closely match the pay difference that existed in the 80's and 90's.

Loading and unloading packages isn't worth 20 bucks an hour.
It is unskilled labor that can be done by monkeys and robots

Regular Package Car Delivery driver I guess. Look up Art 22.4 in the new contract.

That's the new name for the old class of drivers.

When I started the pay difference between a top rate delivery driver and a preloader was about $.50/hr. After 90 days.

The last Contract book I had was in 2001.

Look on line.

When I started they didn't have pre-loaders. After they got away from a driver sort things went to hell quick.

 

[rod]

Look on line.

I'll take your word for it.

If that were the case today, no one would drive.

 

[thecamel]

When I started part time pay was $8. You got the $1 skilled for preload. So $9. Driver pay was $13 or $14. Minimum wage was $3.35.

It is doable.

Back when the pay scale was real close to being even for everyone a drivers position was still what everyone wanted. Believe it or no at one time if you were a UPS driver you had bragging rights.

Now all the new drivers are young and dumb or can't get a job anywhere else.

 

[thecamel]

Thinking that ended in 1982. The year that part time poverty began for ups teamsters.

UPS drivers did not make anymore then other Union jobs or non Union jobs back in the day. The only way they made more was all the OT but combined with the working conditions a lot of PT never wanted to drive. The ones that did want to drive did not have any other skills.

The 1982 National contract was the beginning of when part-timers were screwed over at $8.00 an hour.

Part time poverty.

 

[BakerMayfield2018]

Part time poverty.

I worked 3 part time jobs till I went full time. Going full time at ups is now easier than
Ever. Problem is no one wants to. Work that hard. Shove it sideways
