I just want to make friends!
UPS and Express (Add Purolator up here in Canada) all pay well over $25/hour here. So then why is it considered fair that Ground drivers be paid minimum wage (or just above)? The market for three of Ground contemporaries allows for a livable wage.
I don't know if it's fair that Ground drivers get paid what they do. My first concern is why are they so accepting of such a low rate when better paying jobs are available. There are two possible answers to that; they either like the deal they're getting now or they can't get one of the better jobs. In the case of the former, more power to them. In the case of the latter, why bust someone's balls when they're paying their employees better than anyone else is willing to pay them????
If there's anyone who wants to put his money where his mouth is, let him buy some Ground routes and offer the pay he thinks the drivers should get and show us all how it's done.
