[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1170234, member: 43436"] LOL, you really believe there'd be a mass exodus? Really? - $30/$60/$90 was always negotiable, but even at those rates, the insurance is significantly cheaper for the level of coverage than one could get on the open market. Those here merely for the insurance wouldn't like it, but few would quit. - The under 26 crowd -- the heart of the PT workforce -- is here because UPS pays more (and is a "cooler" job) than Target or Hollister, without the requirement of working weekends. Few are here for the insurance, and most would simply refuse it. - It'd force a handful of those here in hopes of a FT job to quit, but there's plenty more to go around. - It'd sting the career PTers, but it's still cheaper than what most jobs charge for insurance, and those jobs don't pay $20+/hour. Few of these PTers would go anywhere. - - - - - - - If UPS was successful in charging for insurance, it'd have minimal impact on its staffing. In fact, UPS would love it if those here for the insurance as well as career PTers (these are generally synonymous) would quit, but few would. Most UPS facilities have the luxury of cutting staffing and working incumbent employees longer hours. And honestly, if you consider UPS to be "slave labor" -- a repeated theme throughout your postings -- then quit. It's a free country and you have the right to work (or not to) anywhere you please. If you're not happy here, nothing's forcing you to stay. [/QUOTE]
