Over 10% unemployment ---people complain about a company with excellent pay and benefits . Grow up ! Get a life !UPS -tough place to work --respectfully work together to make it better ---but bottom line ---love it --or don't let the door hit you on the way out.
I spent 36 tough years with the company both hourly and management,
No job in ups is easy . I respect all who work there --but have no patience for cry babies !!

$8.50 an hour to start.
1 year for benefits to kick in, 18 months for dependants.
That's excellent?
Times have changed at UPS over the last 36 years.
Do you work in NJ were this occured?
What are they protesting?
Can you tell us what makes these people cry babies?
Go back to your lift chair.

How, till you know what happened?
You and Island might be right....or not.
Renting a plane is an organized effort and not cheap.
Well I did ask the OP to tell us more...

You only gave him 6 mins before agreeing.
If he types like me, he's banging out an explaination as we speak and will be done in about 40 mins.

It's a part time job. You don't go to Mickey D's looking for 25 bucks an hour and full bennies.

Your right --things have changed ---I started at $2.19 an hour ----today I am a multi ,multi MILLIONAIRE !!!!!
Go cry to someone else ---I have been there and I have done it !!!!!!
Also I AM extremely familiar with the Edison Hub ----I worked Midnites there
probably before you were born sonny ! In fact I remember when the midnight hub was closed and sent up to Meadowlands.So I am familiar with Edison ----A country club to other places and buildings I have worked ---try working a hub in LA or in Harlem !!!

No I wouldn't.
But I did go to work for UPS part time in 1986 for $8/hr + benefits after 30 days and it was a good job.
Can you deny the disparity between now and then?
Is this the same company with excellent pay and great benefits the poster I was replying to described.
He or she is a prideful oldtimer who's admirably defending UPS.
I'm not sure they're worthy.
I'm interested to hear the root cause of this protest.

Yea, and I'm sure you walked uphill both ways to and from your car/horse and buggy everyday back then.
Do you know what happened Pops?
I'm not crying.
I too have made my way at UPS.
You might be right?
Enlighten us.

Whats fair in that ??????
To and from mileage for every truck on the road is extremely expensive for Ups --much more than the 1.5 hour overtime .
Business are going BANKRUPT every day ----Try to THINK ---could it be the company is doing everything possible to weather the storm ----the union people even recieved thier raises --no givebacks by the union ---Management --no raises --doing everything possible to cut costs !!!!!
WAKE UP !!!!!!

Rod,
I am sorry I posted that --some things should remain private. My real message was that I was extremely poor ---did almost every job at UPS ---unload,load,sort ---car wash---swept floors---return clerk--customer counter delivered packages and worked my way up in management. I am nor crying when I tell you there were many many tough days and nites. Bottom line I worked hard but UPS provided me the opportunity to reach goals in life I only dreamed of . Hard place to work --but I am enjoying every day of retirement . What I miss most are all the great UPS people ---but through Brown Cafe I can still stay in touch !!!
