[QUOTE="iowa boy, post: 799902, member: 13555"] A more correct question for you might be to ask what the minimum wage was when someone started their first job. I understand that you think 8.50 an hour is a crappy wage, (it is don't get me wrong,) but 25 years ago when I started my first job minimum wage was 3.25 or 3.35 an hour. You may think you have it rough now, but back then there were no cell phones that we had to have or any of the other electronic toys todays generation seems to think that they "need" to make their life more complete. So if you don't think 8.50 an hour is an insufficient wage for you to live on for 90 days, why do you work for ups to begin with? Having a job at UPS is a lot like investing in the stock market, you take the short term loss, (8.50 an hour,) for the long term benefits, (30 bucks an hour for your hard work plus an excellent health care package and retirement). Answer me this question, what kind of retirement would you have after working for 30 years at Mcdonalds? [/QUOTE]
