[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1238602, member: 43436"] ...which is indifferent from taking a seasonal job at Macy's. Except you're earning nearly twice the wage (and more than once the contract's implemented) and have weekends and holidays off. Central States also agreed to extend the helping season through the third week of January. Most of the outside helpers will finish the helping season with over 200 hours and $2500. Pretty solid compared to the take of a seasonal's Macy's employee. The pay is so good (compared to what else is out there for those seeking menial seasonal employment) that the majority of helpers are friends & family of the drivers. Helpers started working Nov. 4 here, but my first helping day wasn't until 11 working days later, and with a friend who's only able to use me 4-5 hours per day, and probably not beyond Christmas Eve. It's worked out so far because of the hours I'm getting on Preload and pulling a double onto Local Sort, but would otherwise cost me about $2000 for the season. A HUGE pet peeve of mine is drivers who play the union card, but then demand to use their kid the first day of the helping season, despite the fact that the contract states no outside hires shall be used until the supply of union employees is exhausted.
