[QUOTE="westsideworma, post: 154869"] you think 12 hour days for drivers means it is "working"? I know a whole hub full of them and more that [I]may[/I] disagree with you. and forcing the preloaders to do more and faster, to look good on paper isn't working either....where do you think most of the misloads arise from? piles of packages outside the trucks because its coming down too fast and theres not enough time to sort it out properly and finish....on time. Yes the drivers are paid above average wages. I am not disputing that, but abusing them and their time on this earth because of it hardly seems like good practice. For the last time, I know the work is hard that isn't what bothers me. I have no problem rolling up my sleeves and getting into the thick of things. The fact that FX does less doesn't either, its the simple fact that UPS pays the drivers for their troubles, I think we deserve the same. I do NOT mean the same wages, but the same respect. 8.50 an hour is not way above industry average...if it is I hate to see your idea of average. Roadway express starts their loaders/dockworkers at 15.31/hr. I don't want to go work there before you say "then go work there!" I'm just making a point. This job isn't my main source of income so the rate doesn't matter as much to me as it does to some, do i think the starting wage is a slap in the face to most of the hardworking people here? yes I do. However theres not a damn thing I can do about it. Doesn't mean its right. [/QUOTE]
