[QUOTE="Livin the Dream?, post: 520501, member: 21891"] I agree 100%. You put an ad in the paper for $3.40 / hour. Nobody replies. You keep raising the price you will pay until you get applicants you can use, whatever that number would be, be it $8.50, $10.50, whatever. It is called supply & demand. It is capatilism. FedEx used it to get their current workers - they offered X for Y job to get done, and they filled the positions, and are getting the job done. Anyone not happy at FedEx with what they are being paid, they can quit, sell their routes. You don't see that happening much. Huh, go figure. Think about this for a second - there are what, 90,000 drivers at UPS? Forget the union for a second - In this economy, do you know how long it would take UPS to replace every single driver with someone willing and able to do the work at 1/2 the pay? My guess is maybe 12, 13 minutes, tops. [/QUOTE]
