[QUOTE="Cowboy Mac, post: 5659047, member: 59074"] The fact is that the currency is never going to deflate so we need raises to keep up with inflation. $50/hour sounds ridiculous at first but when you put it into perspective, the average starting wage in 1930 was $0.43/hour. Prices go up over time. Wages go up over time. Also this contract is not just about feeder drivers, this is about all employees wages and working conditions. Feeders is like a whole other world than package car and part time work. You really do have it good as a feeder driver. I’m saying this as someone who covers in feeders. But what about the people coming up, we need to make it better for them. Create more opportunities for feeder positions. Make the package car driver position more bearable. Better wages for Part Timers so maybe instead of having to work a full time job and PT at UPS, maybe they can work 2 PT jobs while they put their time in to go driving. [/QUOTE]
