[QUOTE="westsideworma, post: 154808"] who ever said 25/hr? I was thinking more like 12-14, or better yet change the raise schedule to every 6 months and leave the wages as they are, it'd still take many years to make top rate for a preloader (which is MORE than a living wage, in fact I think its too much money but oh well). No one is asking for 25/hr hoser, you seem to be the one who fabricated that number. I hate to say this but us lowly hourlies (this job is for college money for night classes/extra$$ to pay off current college loans etc, I make plenty at my other job) are what makes this company move for the most part, yes management directs us but if there were no hourlies...drivers, feeders, package handler, there would be no UPS as theres not enough management to cover all that (and many of them are "above" it anyway. I'm not trying to get in a war here but you're attacking this guy because he thinks the starting wage sucks, no one will tell you its a fair wage because for what they want and how fast they want it done, it IS laughable. Even the drivers at my hub think its pitiful. On xmas eve one year they were like you're finally getting paid what you're worth (which for me at that time would be 16.50 at time and a half) Accountability? they ARE holding us accountable for everything they can't blame on someone else. Its our fault the system read the bar code wrong? you're going to fire us because of that resulting misload? hmmm or a warning letter and/or suspension for it? yea that sounds like accountability to me. You want to talk accountability? why then take a look at most management here...they ALWAYS find someone else to blame for their most recent idea not working. I'm not saying this is exclusive to UPS because its not but thats what this board is for. [/QUOTE]
