[QUOTE="Sissy Brown Short Shorts, post: 5436416, member: 67435"] Last year the free market decided that warehouse labor was worth somewhere in the ballpark of 22$ an hour in my area as well as retention bonuses. UPS raised wages to meet demand. The demand fell off and the wages fell. Even at that rate the turnover was high and productivity was low. People simply don’t want to do that kind of work and it doesn’t matter how much you pay them. The people I want working there at the bottom are the ones that have an aspiration of working up and eat crap for a little bit to get there. God forbid anyone has to struggle anymore. Also they get the best benefits in the business. No other companies in the industry offer complete full and free medical, vision and dental insurance, with a pension, 401k , paid vacation, sick and personal days. Sure amazon gives you insurance day one, but I’d love to get a look at the benefits book. Probably costs them 10% of their weekly pay and doesn’t include anything other than major medical. [/QUOTE]
