What would be the lowest hourly wage you would perform your job at?
I keep hearing a lot of "PT employees could have controlled the contract if they just voted."
Be honest. The lowest hourly wage before you start looking for another job with competitive wage and such.
Currently the lowest rate of pay that would keep me working is $32.26. Once the contract gets finalized it will be $32.96 until next Aug 1.
I bust my ass day in and day out and earn every penny of that $32.26 I currently make. Even in 5 years when I'll be making at least $36.16 I still will be earning every penny. I'm not over paid for the work that I do. I have heard a lot of no touch long haulers say to me "that's why you guys get the big bucks" as they watched me unload or pick of a bulk stop and physically handle every piece.
Those whole would work for less than what they are currently making are plain idiots.
